HANNIBAL,
MO - The Wedge area, located where Broadway Extension and Market
Streets met, was the site of a number of African American businesses
through the years. This particular stone commemorates those
businesses that existed in the area between 1920 and 1984.
At the top of the stone is a memorial to James Thomas (J. T.) Brown, an
local African American architect, who was responsible for constructing
many of the buildings at the Wedge. Most of the buildings in the
area have been demolished. |
