Long after slavery was demolished, the Black people were still facing subjugation in many parts of America. The end of the Civil Rights Movement was a turning point that marked the beginning of a new era for the African American people. However, one cannot forget how several public spaces were off-limits for Blacks back in the early to mid-1900s. Leveraging this aspect, a Black virtual artist and photographer, Omar Victor Diop, from Senegal teamed with British photographer Lee Shulman to reimagine the history, as reported by CNN.

Perhaps the strangest ghost town on this list is Zzyzx in California, the creation of notorious grifter Curtis Howe Springer. Springer, who’d spent a good chunk of his life peddling “miracle cures,” founded a spa called Zzyzx around a natural hot spring in the Mojave Desert in the 1940s.
