A crowd gathered
in front of the new home of Bill and Daisy Myers,
the first black couple to move
into the all-white development of Levittown Pa.,
in 1957.
Samuel Snipes,
the Myerses’ lawyer,
informed the police that they would be moving in,
knowing that controversy would follow.

North Carolina > Soul City
The self-contained,
racially integrated community
would be planned,
developed and managed
by black people.
Those black foundations
would be celebrated
in the town’s name:
Soul City.
The idea was dreamed up
by Floyd McKissick:
attorney, civil rights activist
and force of nature.
In January 1969,
amid the waning days
of US president Lyndon B Johnson’s
administration,
McKissick strolled
into a Washington DC news conference
with secretary of agriculture Orville Freeman
and announced plans to build Soul City
on 5,000 acres of rural land
in impoverished Warren County,
just over an hour’s drive
from Raleigh, North Carolina.
