A Struggle to Be Heard

This video looks at the controversial history of redevelopment in Oakland, California, and the potential to overcome that legacy. Featuring striking archival photos, this video gives voice to Oakland residents who recall how redevelopment efforts led to the demolition of entire neighborhoods in the 1950s and 60s. It also showcases a recent community-led project to bring healthy food to the neighborhood, which has long lacked any full-service grocery store.
