In recent years downtown Princess Anne has seen the growth of African American businesses in a town that was once known for its racial past.

Delmarva Public Media's Sydney Rutledge-Smith has this look at how the business district has changed. DPM's Kevin Diaz provided editorial assistance for this report.

(This story is the latest in our Intergenerational Beats Initiative which pairs a student journalist with a professional one. Together, they cover a local "beat" in our region. )

Sydney and Kevin cover the "History and Communities" beat for Delmarva Public Media.)
