In this episode, I talk about the efforts of a group I work with Down Town Crenshaw which is part of Liberty EcoSystem.
Down Town Crenshaw looks to stabilize a black community that has sustained decades of casualties.
The American profit margin and our American identity from the foundation have utilized black pain. The black community is only 9% in LA county as well as similar numbers around the nation.
In our efforts to purchase the Crenshaw Mall we were able to raise over $100 million, joined with 300 plus organizations, lead marches, rallied, and fought tooth and nail. At the end of the day, our bid was not honored, in spite of having the best bid. The history of redlining and the desire to not see “communal black wealth” remained a strong force against black liberation. The fight will continue, in the pursuit to purchase the mall as we once again “need solutions that match the scale of the problem, within the city of south-central and every black neighborhood around the country.
We look to create lasting relationships and strengthen ties as global citizens.
