Negrotown
"Negrotown" is a historical term used in some African American communities to refer to an idealized, imagined place where Black people could be free from oppression, discrimination, and racism. It often represented a concept of hope—a utopian space of safety, dignity, and equality, especially during times of slavery or segregation. While not a physical location, Negrotown symbolized aspirations for liberation and unity. It appears in cultural expressions like stories, songs, and oral histories, serving as a powerful metaphor for resilience and the desire for social justice.
