Very sad to hear, the disrespect is opposite of the love we all deserve from one another. But I must say, as I’m old now, I am also offended__by a younger generation who have no taste, no bond or respect for history. I have seen my darling small town just run over by their tear down and build different attitudes. It seems endless.
This is horrible. I wish this stuff never happened. Their is so much land in the USA.and so much unused decapitated complexes that they could have rather used instead of destroying this community. Terrible. Esp from a university that should know better imo.

Wait. Are they pretending a black neighborhood was moved by non black people? I’m confused. I’m not understanding.
