Originally envisioned as an interstate highway to connect I-480 with I-680, the North Freeway is of the most controversial street projects in Omaha history. By developing a major highway through the heart of North Omaha, the government physically sliced Omaha’s historically African American neighborhood in half, leaving a legacy of controversy and discrimination continuing today. This is a history of the North Freeway in Omaha. Our thanks to our patrons: Michael Wagner Joseph Tingley Sarah Swanson James Sechser Jeff Rockwell Barb Naughtin Lonnie (Hansen) Dunbier Mike Schill Jenna Smith Dan Hedrick Richard Gude Daniel Ammons Sara Rogers Troy Lewellen Joanne Ferguson Cavanaugh Kristine Gerber Jay Flaunts His Ignorance Jim Collison And The Great Plains Black History Museum.
