Very interesting story about Oak Bluffs in Martha's Vineyard. The Obamas recently bought a house in the area for $15M

Probably Baltimore.

Atlanta is overwhelmingly new money.

DC isn’t really that much generational wealth as it is government income based money.

If we’re going back to say 1900, it’s definitely Baltimore then Philly most likely

Atlanta is on the list because, during slavery, and after slavery free African Americans were wealthy business owners and land owners in Charleston, SC, It was the capital of black wealth in the south, those same families migrated to Atlanta

There were cities like Richmond, VA, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, PA, Baltimore, MD, but dark skin blacks faced discrimination from light skin blacks, so Charleston was a place where dark skin blacks could make it, and like I said those wealthy families moved to Atlanta

No, it isn't. Alonzo Herndon proves otherwise, look it up. Give credit where credit is due.
