We Will No Longer Be Silent: Structural Racism in the York Road Corridor Must Be Addressed
This past Saturday, as reported in the Baltimore Sun , protesters marched against structural and systemic racism in the York Road Corridor in Baltimore, Maryland. I commend Thaen Hardy for organizing the protest. It was long overdue. For decades, York Road has been a racial dividing line separating black people and white people, poor people and affluent people. The York Road Corridor is separate and unequal. The west side of York Road, including Guilford and Homeland neighborhoods, is predominantly white and prosperous. Many residents on the west side live in luxurious homes and their children attend elite private schools such as Gilman, Bryn Mawr, and Friends School of Baltimore. The east side of York Road, including communities such as Woodbourne McCade and Greater Govans, is predominantly African American and poor. On the west side of York Road, there are abandoned buildings, open air drug markets, failing schools, and streets littered with trash and hopelessness. 2016
Looking forward to experiencing a better Baltimore under your leadership!!
