Jacquea Mae Speaks on Gentrification
Saturday, 21 November, 2020
PublicSource is a local publication known for "progressive" content and allyship. Though they sport the "progressive" honorific, the publication has made many harmful missteps to the detriment of Black people and communities. That is to be expected, being an entirely white-lead system. The issue comes in when there is a lack of accountability when harm occurs. On May 19, 2020, Rich Lord wrote an article in PublicSource rebranding the impact of gentrification in Pittsburgh as "Black Flight." The article erases the harmful impact displacement has had on Black people and presents the experience as a choice. Narrative is our most valuable and powerful asset. In order to ensure that the voices of the people and their experiences are not being washed over by media, we decided to do a series on Gentrification. We kicked it off with a live panel discussion via zoom and Facebook. Our first installment of this series features Jacquea Mae, local artivist (artist and activist) who shares her experience and perception of gentrification.
