    Join us on Sunday, January 21st at 2pm at the Tarboro Road Community Center (121 N. Tarboro Street, Raleigh) to learn how you can help stop the city-sponsored urban renewal of New Bern Avenue. Stand up for Raleigh’s Black history and for revitalizing existing neighborhoods and businesses along the New Bern Avenue Bus Rapid Transit line rather than forcing them out. On December 12, in a landmark vote, the Raleigh Planning commission rejected the myth that local race-biased government policies have been cleansed from our nation’s urban renewal past. While supporting the New Bern Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project, the Commission majority voted against Z-92-22, the largest ever city-initiated upzoning of 744 parcels of private land for multi story redevelopment along the New Bern corridor.

The Planning commission’s action comes in the wake of a national awareness, led by the publication of Richard Rothstein’s ‘The Color of Law‘ (National Book Award finalist) and ‘Just Action.’ These books document the author’s findings that we still live in an apartheid society (Economic Policy Institute: How to challenge segregation), […]
