?????????????? ?????????? ????????????: ?????????? ???????? ?????????????????? ???? ?????? ?????? ???? At KIJIJI ATLANTA, our mission is to create beautiful spaces that celebrate #africanculture. This month, in the KIJIJIGazeti, we explore the complex intersection of #blackspaces and land ownership in the United States. The fight for land is a story rooted in centuries of struggle, resilience, and survival within a system shaped by white European settler colonialism. Our communities thrive through the creation of courtyard communities, but that process requires land ownership—something that has been a battleground for African Americans since the Reconstruction era. ?? Land is power, and ownership is freedom. Join us this month as we discuss the past, present, and future of Black Land Ownership. Let’s build a future that reclaims space and celebrates culture. ??

Very interesting article on the influence of Black caddies on the game of golf by my Spatial Research & Design colleague Craig Gill. Definitely worth a read!

Came across this story today and it’s interesting how many things were built for the destruction of Black communities. How much generational wealth was lost to be replaced with trauma? How many stories will go untold? This is why even with an extra day, we can’t limit Black history to just one month.

This article does a very good job of putting some recent statistics in context. Well worth the time it takes to read! #baileys #carencro

This week's #blackhistorymonth features focused on eminent domain as a means of Black Displacement. Historically, eminent domain orders overwhelmingly affected neighborhoods largely populated by Black residents. Therefore eminent domain orders would singlehandedly displace entire communities and populations of a city’s Black population. Click through or pause to learn more. Check the comments for organizations that support preservation and protection of historic spaces. #blackhistorymonth2024 | #blackhistory February 9, 2024

As we say at Ford, be curious! As we celebrate Black History Month, everyone knows Detroit has a rich heritage of Black prosperity being the home to the auto industry. Did you know that years ago, segregation forced Blacks to certain parts of the city (Paradise Valley the Black business district, and Black Bottom, called this by the early French settlers, due to the rich black farming soil)? Both communities were downtown close to the Detroit River, generational wealth was created and these neighborhoods thrived. The national highway system I-375, displaced these types of neighborhoods in Detroit and other cities, erasing Black generational wealth for so many. Though still in the planning stages to help right some past wrongs, let's look at what the city and the state are doing to acknowledge this and work to drive inclusion in this new downtown development district being built where these neighborhoods once were.

What do you think about the Red Hat Amphitheatre moving a block south (further into what was 4th Ward - a Black community destroyed between 1968-1971 to build the Dawson-McDowell Connector in a process called Urban Renewal) and closing a block of South Street, one of the original boundaries of the city of Raleigh? Do you even realize that this is happening? There is a community meeting this coming Monday at the Memorial Auditorium to share more information and to ask questions. https://lnkd.in/eBWpFxvy Sorriest job of community engagement that I have ever seen - and that's not on the Office of Community Engagement but on the folks who thought that this didn't need to be addressed by ALL of the people in the city, not just those who inhabit the "downtown" area. Here is more information about the meeting. Show up. Ask questions. https://lnkd.in/ensgRanm Have they considered that with all of the new development and planned development what closing the street off will mean for all of those people - because they won't all be walking! As we are continually asking for recognition of 4th Ward - is the only recognition going to be a mural painted on a wall that people drive past? And why must the Black community continue to bear the brunt of the development in this city? This is not what Opportunity Zones were supposed to be about - they were for the building up of the community not the continued making money for gentrifing developers. Does any of this mean that I am against downtown businesses? No. I just hate shoddy and haphazardly put together engagement and this is that. Will Shaw University be affected by this in a positive way or will they be left out in the re-routing? According to what I read on the City's website, now the strollway will access Lenoir street, bypassing Shaw University on the way from Chavis to Dix. That seems odd. https://lnkd.in/egc-4AuZ
