Abstract:
MIC is an acronym for the Mecklenburg Investment Company, an organization established in May 1921. A group of prominent black citizens in Charlotte formed MIC to rent space to other professional black professionals. These men were known at the time as the \"New Negro\" because of their middle-class, educated, and urban standing in the post-Civil War South.
