Granite Mountain neighborhood
From FranaWiki
The Granite Mountain neighborhood is located on the southeast edge of the city of Little Rock.
The $1.3 million Granite Mountain slum clearance effort by the Urban Progress Association working under the Central Little Rock Urban Renewal Project led to the destruction of 163 small homes occupied by black Little Rock residents. The work was accomplished after the 1950 passage of a referendum on slum clearance by city voters.
