Nineteen black families have come together and purchased a 97-acre tract of land that sits in rural Georgia which they plan to use to create a city that can serve as a “safe space” for black families.
The planned black cooperative city, which they will name as simply, “Freedom,” is slated to be built on land purchases in August that sits just east of Macon, Georgia in Wilkinson County.
It’s the inspiration of real estate agent Ashley Scott and her friend, Renee Walters, an investor and business entrepreneur. “We figured we could try to fix a broken system or we could start fresh. This is how we build our new Black Wall Streets. We can do this. We can have Wakanda. We just have to build it for ourselves,” Scott said.
White people who are “pro-black people” can also apply to live there.
“I’m hoping that it will be a thriving safe haven for people of color, for black families in particular,” Scott told CNN.
“It’s impossible to have anything exclusively black because our families are integrated. We are an integrated, tolerant and diverse community even as Black people, so we don’t intend for it to be exclusively Black, but we do intend for it to be pro Black in every way.
“So much land was stolen from black people. So much land was stolen from indigenous peoples. So, to be able to come back and reclaim this land from whoever may have had it, because we don’t know the story and that’s the reality.
“We don’t know so many of our stories, but we can make a new story and that’s what we hope to do here.”
The two women had been sadly moved by the unrest that was ignited by the death of George Floyd by the hands of Minneapolis police, and Breonna Taylor at the hands of Louisville Metro Police.
After Ahmaud Arbery, 23, was fatally shot for jogging near Brunswick in Glynn County, Georgia, they both felt it was necessary to seek out a new community that they could start on their own.
Scott and Walters are planning to develop the land out in stages.
At first they plan to clear out the land, to farm it, and even create a man-made lake for fishing.
The work is critical before submitting a request for a city charter.
“Watching our people protesting in the streets, while it is important, and I want people to stay out in the streets, bringing attention to the injustices of black people,” Scott said.
“We needed to create a space and a place where we could be a village, again, a tribe, again. We wanted to create this safe space where we can address our own issues and concerns.”
Scott and Walters started to see a real interest among their friends and families on joining the efforts to create a new black city.
“We both have black husbands. We both have black sons,” Walters said.
“And I was starting to get overwhelmed and have a sense of anxiety when my husband will leave the house to go to work. So, it was like, OK, what can we do?
“And once I saw the post of Toomsboro going viral, about a town being on sale, I was like, ‘Oh, this is perfect’.”
God Bless them, and I hope they succeed. This is what America is all about. You don’t like what’s going on, and you feel you can’t fix it through legitimate means, rather than take to the streets and destroy innocent property and innocent people’s lives, you take the bull by the horns and do something positive about it. This idea is entrepreneurial, it’s capitalistic, it smacks of the sense of community, it’s the American way, and it will succeed the way the original Black Wall Street did in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Unfortunately, before Oklahoma became the reddest of red states, there were Democrat Klansman who slaughtered the innocents in Greenwood back in May and July of 1921 during the Tulsa Massacre. To this day the Democrats and their boot-licking sycophants in the mainstream news media call it the Tulsa Riots. It wasn’t riots, it was a massacre of innocent black people who were working hard and living their lives in peace.
Constructing a new city can take years if not decades, but the planners are hoping to work on an accelerated pace. Hint: They should call Donald Trump. Trust me, he would be proud to help them go in the right direction to build their city.
“We thought it would be a five to ten-year process, but with the outpouring of support that we’ve gotten we can make this happen much faster,” she says.

This is awesome, keep spreading the word! President Trump can say, look, this is what I hope for in black communities… entrepreneurship, leadership, ownership… this is how we make All Americans great! He IS a builder, he can help! The question is, are these founders too proud to allow him to help?! -Excellent article! Thanks
1100 archers is pretty small
“1100 archers”
Huh???????
So will you follow federal mandates? Will residents pay taxes? Will you support gov’t housing? And you know this is a form of segregation right? So white cities will now develop and thus begins when black leaders say “We’ve been set back 70 years.” And I am tired of the talk about stolen land and white people stole it. All races and immigrants reap the rewards of stolen land….
Did you actually read the article? I’d say ‘no’ based on your comment. Pull your head out and read it.
THIS WILL BE A MAJOR FAIL. THINK MARCO POLO PARK IN FLORIDA
I wish them the very best. I am white and would not hesitate to move there. Most people just want to live a quiet and peaceful life. I am tire of big government, hate, and harmful people.
Prayers for great success!
I too wish the very best and believe that everyone wants to just live peacefully, a place where kids can be kids, play outside and not worry about violence! We all want that! I hope everything works out, we need peace! Unity! And the love of our brothers an sisters
Then re-elect Trump. You’ll get big government as well as the hate and harmful people if Biden and his crew are elected — they are the ones who started all this in the first place simply and solely because Hillary lost.
You do realize under bidens plans you will have to have public housing. Unfortunately with public housing you get “I don’t give a damn housing “ ! Too many times if they don’t own It they don’t respect and care enough to take care of it!
When you ladies say you support and encourage the protesters to continue to be out on the streets, does that include the killings of cops and ruined businesses and thugs running around attacking and hurting old defenseless people in random attacks? Or blocking a hospital entrance so that (as the Blacks were screaming) “We hope they die”. Neither myself nor my family stole anything from you or your family a hundred + years ago, so not blame the world for your needs and desires! We worked hard all our lives to get what little we have just like you (I assume), I am white old and definitely not enriched!!!! I raised my kids to be respectful and to work hard for what they have…I could NOT AFFORD College for them and It damn sure wasn’t available for FREE for White kids 40 years ago. So many nowadays have been raised to expect to be cared for (no work, no responsibility, me, me, me ….I’m talking Black AND WHITE! The future generations need to be taught that the world does NOT owe them a living, no matter what their race. To bad we can’t be the HUMAN race anymore….sad!
as the blacks were screaming “we hope they die”??? Black lives matter protesters, not “the blacks”
the blacks?
There are already “Black” Communities, why not start by supporting and rebuilding them???
I agree with you. To segregate into a walled off city within a city, a sanctuary. Hope it is successful. I think money would be better spent rebuilding a small neighborhood and making it a model city to repeat in other areas.
I hope it succeeds. It’s a big undertaking. Yes, they could ask Trump for help. He’s been a great friend to the black communities of America, the mainstream media’s agenda driven coverage against him notwithstanding.
Will they be able to keep the likes of BLM and Antifa OUT?
This is just WRONG. These folks live in the United States of America yet want to create another Liberia. They want all the privileges and protections afforded citizens but reserve the right to decide who can live with them. It is completely out of keeping with the ideals of the U.S. . I’m sure that I am not the only one who can see that this “Separatist” behavior flies in the face of all the progress that has been made for acceptance and advancement of people of all races, colors and creeds over the last 244 years.
Sounds like another fanciful dream that isn’t well thought out…. built more on a hope which ignores the core nature of humanity… a fallen nature that needs to be redeemed …. No concocted liberal idea is going to solve that underlying sin problem…. fools build their houses on shifting sands instead of the rock of Jesus Christ.
Pro-Black people? That’s racist as hell. Pro-White people? That’s racist as hell. This is a place to practice open racism. Jesus have mercy. Y’all this is CRAZY. If white people went and publicly announced they went and bought a huge amount of land that “black people who are pro-white people” can apply to live there as well…. Come on? Really? The backlash would be insane and blacks would burn it down in the name of racism. But they can do it? SOUNDS LIKE BLACK PRIVILEGE TO ME.
Wonder how they are going to get home loans. Fannie mae, Freddie Mac, VA and HUD require Equal Credit Opportunity act. Can’t discriminate against any race, gender, sex, religion, nationality or sexual preferance. They can’t decide you have to be black or mixed families to get funding. They will need cash or private funding. My issue is everyone should be treated equal and if we tried to have a pro white city it would be burned to the ground.
I think it’s a proactive idea. It’s not segregation, the article says white people would also be welcome. I think this is a far better endeavor than running around causing chaos. I would be happy to see it succeed and I hope it does. I hope they can find a lot of like minded people to help them make it a great place to live and work.
Are you saying they will not pay federal taxes? Or follow federal laws?
This is exactly what the civil rights movement fought against… this WILL be segregation, except that this time it wll be black families doing it.
And if and when it doesnt work as the article suggests that they think it will, is it going to be suggested that the federal government rescue them?
Are they going to have a type of police force? A constitution? A form of government? And when someone thinks that they are getting a raw deal at something, or breaks one of “their laws” is it just going to be another shootout at the OK Coral? Or will the person be arrested, and punished based on the city, state, and federal laws? Or are you suggesting that this will be a sovereign nation like Native American nations?
I think that this a great idea on paper, but I believe that the reality of it will not accomplish what the goal is.
So they will have their own police force, water dept etc? sounds like a great idea, hope it works out for all
What will they do when the black police shoot a black man?
I have seen this before…..Oh yes, it was in apartheid South Africa. They created these cities and towns for blacks only. The South Africans got the idea from the USA and Canada. The proof of this is in the parlementary records or as it is called the “Hanzard” which is the official parlement records in South Africa. They created black homelands based on the USA and Canadian “reservation” system. In South Africa they called it homelands for the black people. They could govern themselves, manage their own schools and everything else. So what these people are now doing is a rebuttal on all the “anti apartheid” governments, activists, and everyone else that stand against racism. Go and create your own “homeland” or as it was known in South Africa a “Black homeland” / Swart Tuisland….Viva Apartheid!!!!
I think it is their right to attempt to do this, but people worked hard to end housing discrimination based on race so it seems like a step backwards. I guess that may be why they said they would include whites as well or it would just be a return to segregation and probably illegal. The article does not say if this is empty land or what criteria are required locally for them to become a city or if it will just be a housing tract. I support them doing it, but announcing it to the press maybe not. This racial divide we are experiencing has not occurred naturally, but by design; divide and conquer.
So YOU discriminate, Pick and Choose your Pro White Society, (Some Sympathisers would be SHUNNED as Uncle Tom’s and Ngers would they not)???. Does the average American White Family have a choice if a Black Family moves in the house next door to them? NO! and they would be called a RACIST BIGOT if they did! Why is the Real Racist always protected and justified? I question who would Police this City (Anti American, Anti White Cops? Possibly Murdering Innocent Whites for passing through (or would they have to drive around this State)? Would their be Taxes (to pay ALL cost’s and upkeeps)? What about a Jail (or would you expel those Black’s you undesire to the mainland to DUMP your Trash on the Honest Black & Whites (that just want to work and live in peace too) whilst making Americans PAY for YOUR Mis-Fits)? Your Schools would end up teaching your Systemic Hate along with your Churches (and selectively choosing Books and Changing History and Truths). This Recipe of Disguised Hate will end up with PEACEFUL Black or White Protestors burning it to the ground. YOUR Utopia is Dystopia and is Totally Anti American and Purely Racist. How will you deal with BLM and Black Antifa ECT when they show up? Will your Hospitals, Prisons ETC be paid for by the Black, White and Mixed American Peoples Taxes? Will their be Human Rights and Equality including Gay, Bi, Trans and all of the Other Communities being allowed in the name of EQUALITY Exist? Why not just go live in Africa if you want Little Africa or Hate America so much? Does the Pro White mean the 13yr Old White Girls (ONLY) that your OWN Laws will dismiss as Abuse or Slavery? As for pure Black Businesses (is Racists and Selfish) and if Mixed or White America had not let you be Privelidged and Successful then you would NOT have had the money to start this EVIL Plan of Racist Segregation! You may have got where you are through Black Privelidge. As for your Comment on keeping up the Riots, Looting and Murder well (it says a lot about YOU as a individual) and one day IT COULD HAPPEN TO this UTOPIA by your Own or by the Great Country that has allowed you to achieve where you are today. Will this Place be Racist against Black’s too? (only allowing Privelidged Black’s to live there? And Dumping the one’s that you don’t want on the White, Black and Mixed Society to put up with and PAY for? If this was a White Person suggesting this Nonsense there would be RIOTS AND THEY WOULD NOT BE PEACEFUL and we would be Arrested. SHAME ON YOU! It Sounds like The City of the Worst Racial Elite to conspire and promote Hate not Peace. YOUR THE KKK WITH A TAN. Help out the Black Communities that need it instead and RID your Heart and Soul of Division. WE were ALL forced to be Diverse and so should YOU! As for the President yes he should help the Black and White and Mixed Communities BUT NEVER THIS WAY EVER, AND YOU EXPECT THE WHITE MAN’S MONEY TO HELP BUILD IT? You will breed the new Taliban in time. PHHHH
Is Africa PEACEFUL or the Hood??? NO!!! What makes you think that this will be? BLACK on BLACK CRIME is the PROBLEM. Some Black people can be very Ignorant, Hateful and Racist (just as any Culture). Black people HATE Each Other too (that’s why there’s so much unrest in Africa, the Hood and the World)! If you cannot like each other then no wonder you hate Whites)! You live in America but Want to be African which is WRONG, you can have your Culture but within American Law and Culture (otherwise you are plainly in the wrong Country). Being American does NOT mean you can’t be African American but it does mean that you have to Abide and fit alongside the Culture, Rules and Laws of the mainstream Country that has adapted for YOUR BENEFIT! Stop being Ignorant and Selfish (have you ever even tried to fit in to America or are you limited to Tribal Dysfunction that holds you back by Enslaving Yourself)? Also some Black people live in the Past as it suits you too playing on Race and Slavery for their selfish Benefit and Privelidge by CHOICE (that becomes a collective mindset through repetitiveness through, School, Church, Film, Home and Culture Sadly). Most Black people Succeed as they have accepted they live in America in 2020 and NOT Africa in the 1750s. Stop Blaming other’s for Personal Bad Choices and you WILL succeed with EFFORT like everybody else in this World. The World Owes US Nothing that we have not EARNT through hard work and Respect for ALL! Gratitude for the time WE live in (YES We have ALL been Slaves) and only YOU keep your chains. Your mindset should be about making ALL Race’s Loving and working together so that one day even YOU and I can own a nice home maybe as neighbours.
Wakanda???? Dream on Sisters…. dream on. After I read this article I shared it with friends just to back-up what I’ve been saying for YEARS…. racism flows both ways and the blacks hate US more than we could ever even think of hating them. Thank you for proving my point. Also, it was ONLY the BLACK so-called “peaceful” Protesters screaming out chants of “Let them die” and disgraceful farm animal noises. It’s on film.
Grow up people! We all live together, work together, and play together. Quit with the poor me poor me, pity me pity me crap
I wonder if the author who celebrates this as American and capitalistic and will succeed the way the original Black Wall Street did knows what happened to the original Black Wall Street, and so many successful Black communities like it…
Also, the people who started this project CLEARLY said they are in favor of the protests, which is our right to redress the government. So I’m not sure why the author says that this is good INSTEAD OF taking to the streets.
Our property was destroyed time and time and again by private citizens, the police, the government, as were our bodies. Nobody cared about the innocent property and lives that were taken when it was us, over and over again.
