[quote=Anonymous]What's wild is that this did happen around here recently. Dulles airport was basically supposed to be in the area around burke lake park. The land owners (white) fought the federal government until it gave up and seized land from an area with well off black families (western fairfax/eastern Loudon) which then created Dulles airport. The imminent domain was obviously less than market value simply because these people were black. And when this took place, black properties were 25 cents on the dollar at best. It's an interesting part of fairfax history fwiw. [/quote]
