The Legacy of Colonization, The Damage of Gentrification, The Strength of Community: Examining Displacing Phenomena Throughout History in the City of Brotherly Love

The aim of this project is to interrogate these processes, to examine how gentrification is impacting the firmly rooted Black community of North Central Philadelphia, to examine how colonization impacted and continues to affect Indigenous and marginalized residents of the modern Eastern Seaboard, to discuss these systems of oppression together, and to provide a number of minor and tentative solutions, as well as a number of questions intended to continue this imperative conversation on combating displacement.
