They are all, like, “...there’s a Black neighborhood in Plattsburgh, NY with like 947 people. So, yeah, Plattsburgh is also, like, a Black Capital.”
“See the 10 YouTube videos of their one Block Party below...”
Yep, I checked on YouTube and couldn't find anything in Seattle.

I have a good question. Are there any sources out there that show the dollar amount of real estate wealth that Blacks/African Americans have city to city? I am talking specifically about black folks who own their homes.

For example the combined wealth dollar amount of all black folks in Harlem who owned their brownstones, condos, co-ops etc?

I don't agree with a couple of these but it was still interesting.

I'm surprised Memphis is dead last in this poll, given that the greatest Black leader of all time had his historic "I Am A Man" march before his assassination. It also anchors the northern half of the Delta region. It had Stax records, arguably second to Motown in terms of its influence on classic R&B/Soul music. It may not be the biggest city, but it's hard to deny the rural surroundings that it influenced.

Seattle deserves to be in the cellar of this poll. Its presence is hardly visible at all outside of the PNW, with the exception of perhaps Jimi Hendrix.
