Black Neighborhoods Matter by @baltbeat's @LisaMcCray celebrates a community's hard-earned triumph over developers, - @LillyChapa, API's editorial manager.

[organizepoppleton @organizepopple1]

We agree @AmPress that @LisaMcCray and @baltbeat’s reporting on Sonia Eaddy’s fight to save her home and the soul of her neighborhood was one of the top stories of the year. https://t.co/633TWg8hae

The BFS 2.0 application is open to all UMBC graduate students, full-time staff, and full-time faculty. Preference will be given to untenured/assistant professors to support early career work in public humanities. https://t.co/2aoorahajS

Betty Bland Thomas of Sharp-Leadenhall discusses how seniors who have lived their entire lives in her neighborhood are now being pushed out. “Gentrification is a tool of great displacement; it does not have a tool of diversity, this bill does.” Let’s do something. #BmoreEquitable

[organizepoppleton @organizepopple1]

The promise of bmore has been put on hold too long @TishaGuthrieMSW calls on @MayorBMScott promise to prioritize racial equity & to address longterm violence of racist housing practices. “We must redress the violence this system perpetuates Who benefits?” #PassCouncilBill22195

Uni w/ 75% of faculty contingent workers + staff working poverty wages + developers/universities extracting wealth from Black & immigrant neighborhoods. We must see it as more than a crisis, but a crossroads. We can and must do better. @UMBCPubHum let’s go! 💥Repair + abolition💥

One of my favorite things is being out in the field documenting & interviewing. Here @MrPresidential1 (Curtis Eaddy II) is interviewing his parents on the stoop of their home, which they fought 18 years to save from condemnation by Baltimore City for a development project.
