After a fire on 2nd Street last week, the remains of a building stand next to the famous Hippodrome Theater in Jackson Ward. Originally built in 1913, the Hippodrome became part of Jackson Ward being known as the “Harlem of the South,” a reference to its Black heritage, culture and its musical tradition.
