For this week’s discussion you are required to listen to “Blacks in Houston Must Guard Against Displacement” found on www.blackagendareport.com by Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford and Dr. Gerald Horne. Research the ideas presented by Dr. Horne on working class leadership and black displacement following natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina. Discuss if you agree with the assertion certain cities are hostile to African-Americans and lower income individuals. Conduct research to determine if other cities have experienced similar displacement of certain ethnic groups after a natural disaster and detail what methodology could be adopted to prevent such “forced” migration. What similar examples of gentrification has African-Americans experienced.
