The National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956, which created the interstate highway system, also dealt a blow to communities across the nation including Columbus.
Neighborhoods housing African Americans were the hardest hit.

Today on Tech Tuesday, we are taking a look at what we can learn from the Ghost Neighborhoods of Columbus.
