'''Ninth Street''' in downtown Little Rock was once known as the central hub of African American retailing in the city.

Many Ninth Street businesses were relocated in the 1960s with the construction of the [[Wilbur D. Mills Freeway]] that cut through the neighborhood and during the [[Central Little Rock Urban Renewal Project]].

-Many Ninth Street businesses were relocated in the 1960s with the construction of the [[Wilbur D. Mills Freeway]] that cut through the neighborhood and during the [[Central Little Rock Urban Renewal Project]]. Main Street took some business away as integration took hold. The perception of high crime and its transformation into a one-way thoroughfare also kept people from patronizing the street in the 1970s.

Three blocks on the north side of Ninth Street west of Broadway survived, as did some businesses on the south side.
