"We're just trying to stay
on the map."
White businesses and
residents, if they come,
may be the key to Boley's
rebound, but Mrs. Hicks
said the town is secure in
its survival as an all-black
community.
"I think the fact that
Boley has been an all black
town for 75 years, that
heritage is there to stay,"
Mrs. Hicks said.
“I don’t think that we will
be intimidated or will feel
overwhelmed or slighted if
20years from now if we had
a town that had as many
blacks as white." she said.
“We don't consider
ourselves racists, bigots or
anything of the kind," she
said. “It just happens that
black folks migrated here,
black folks stayed here and
black folks maintain it.
"And it is a proven fact
that black folks can govern
themselves."
Mary Harshbarger is one
of the few whites to come
and stay in Boley. She
publishes the town’s mon-
thly newspaper.
"I think Boley has done
well to survive," Ms. Har-
shbarger said. “Despite all
the economic disadvan-
tages of being black, Boley
is still here."
