Let this be a message to those of you who ride this sign on Florida Ave, NE everyday. "Pretty soon, you won't recognize the place. Promise." What do you think Sang Oh Development, LLC is talking about?
Hidden in plain sight, Sang Oh Development makes it clear that their agenda is to make the area unfamiliar. I'm all for beautifying our neighborhoods. But, do we have to whitewash neighborhoods in order for them to become beautiful? Is there not a way for blighted communities to be renewed without the people being removed?
Take another look at this photo:
We must pay attention to what lies right beneath our noses. They will tell you their plans. DC is Chocolate City. And, we do not need urban removal in order to have urban renewal. We do not need to "Black-out" the community through "Whitewash." There must be a better way. Now, we need to tell those brothers standing beneath that sign: "they're planning to remove you from your 'hood."
