The Eaddys are one of many families displaced, but they are fighting to stay in their home. Poppleton’s revitalization must include the voices of and resources for all remaining residents who have persevered through neighborhood segregation, destructive highway construction, and systemic disinvestment. This is the only way for inclusive development to build a more equitable city and to show that Black neighborhoods matter in Poppleton, in the Southwest, and in Baltimore. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/f85e2c63cd42638fbff1689949880a0de5c61b30
