Missouri, Columbia, African-American Heritage Trail Historical Markers

A 2-mile walking trail in central Columbia with dozens of historical markers highlighting Columbia’s black community. Centered around the Sharp End, the black business district that thrived until 1950s urban renewal projects destroyed much of Columbia’s vibrant black community, leaving only fading memories which the markers serve to recall.
