The summer of 2020 is proving to be one of those rare moments where we can feel our nation quake as we reckon with questions of race and injustice. Now is the time to talk, reflect, engage, and envision the spaces that embody our values today.

The Public Interest Design fellowship has given me the space to slow down and sit with all the complex questions we now ask ourselves as neighbors, designers, humans.

After Katrina, the city of New Orleans was devastated. The city needed to rebuild many of its neighborhoods. Some of these neighborhoods were mostly occupied by black people and people of color. These neighborhoods were rebuilt and the value of the property became higher. More middle class families began to move into these neighborhoods from outside the city. The newer, nicer nieghborhoods replaced the old, “urban” neighborhoods. People who lived in the old neighborhood could not afford to live in the rebuilt neighborhood and were displaced from the city.
