Preserve Historically Black-Owned Land in Conway, South Carolina
Preserve Historically Black-Owned Land in Conway, South Carolina
The Issue
A small community known as “The Sandridge” in Conway, South Carolina needs your help. This historically black community’s neighborhood based in Horry County is about to face eminent domain by the South Carolina Department Of Transportation (SCDOT) and Horry County to build a highway in the middle of their small town… unless we do something about it. To build a highway smack dab in the middle of this property is nothing short of modern day gentrification and thievery. The property is currently owned by the Hemingway, Friend, Faulk, Williams and Bellamy families, which are all related and have owned the property for well over 100 years.
Please sign this petition for demanding that Horry County prevents this eminent domain from occuring, so that this land can be preserved and these families can continue to live and prosper on it for many more years to come.
