Had the pleasure this week of screening @RaisedRazedDoc at @JSAAHC for @PiedmontHousing staff alongside @ZoDickerson & Melinda Washington, whose family lived in Vinegar Hill and whose uncle is Charles Barbour, Charlottesville’s first Black Mayor.

At the JSAAHC it's always Black History Month.

This Friday CHS's 11th grade English & History classes are coming to the JSAAHC and we need your help to make sure they're not learning on empty stomachs.

$15 buys a lunch for a teenager.

This is no ordinary day...

• March 8 -- 200 11th graders at @CHSBlackKnights are coming to @JSAAHC for a day of hands-on local history

3/ "...We have a black city manager, a Dialogue on Race and a very nice apology for Vinegar Hill. But Black people continue to be economically, academically and electorally disenfranchised. Cellophane."

[Raised/Razed @RaisedRazedDoc]

1/ Right before City Council voted in 2011 to officially apologize for destroying Vinegar Hill, community organizer & activist Alicia Lugo told Council:

“We’re not consulted. We’re not asked for our opinions. We’re cellophane. You look right at us. You look right through us..."

[Raised/Razed @RaisedRazedDoc]

2/ She continued: "And you never know our names because you don’t care enough to ask...When City Council has dithered and bickered over roads, water and Mcintire Park...our neighborhoods have been gentrified and a thousand of our population have been displaced..."

Here they’re speaking about the new development’s rendering that has giant murals of Black women on it.

There are no current Black commercial tenants in the Dairy Market.

There are no Black women on the development staff.

(💯Big shout to Amanda & Justin for shining light💯)

[Jordy Yager @jordyyager]

“We’re going through a modern day Vinegar Hill.”

Ms. Rosia & @ZyahnaB speaking to developer Chris Henry about the proposed expansion of the Dairy Market project along the main corridor between 3 historically Black neighborhoods suffering extreme amounts of Black displacement.
