Mellon, Ford and NYCT Support WNYC Series on Gentrification
There Goes the Neighborhood takes an in-depth look at gentrification in Brooklyn and the integral role that race plays in the process.
Developers from all over the globe are hunting New York City, looking for deals that will allow them to “revitalize” neighborhoods, and make a few bucks in the process.
But to many tenants and homeowners, it feels like a violent shove out of the way, especially for black and brown Brooklynites who have lived here for generations. . .
Support for There Goes the Neighborhood has been provided by the Ford Foundation, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The New York Community Trust, and the Economic Hardship Reporting Project. . .
