Archive Tucson spotlight: South Park, 1960s
|
In the mid-20th century, when racist deed restrictions and redlining were still common, South Park was one of Tucson's three Black neighborhoods. Richard Davis describes a neighborhood rich in community spirit and wholly neglected. These conditions inspired a resident named Quincie Douglas to found the city's first ride-share program to make transportation available to South Park residents without cars. The service was so successful, it was later taken over by the City of Tucson and is now known as SunVan.
