(August, 2019) Historian and Howard University alum Ebonee Davis purchased her first home in Washington, D.C. in 2011. She grew up in and around D.C. and attended church in the Trinidad neighborhood. When asked if she believed the improvements in the city were made with consideration to D.C. natives, she responded with a resounding no. “Not in terms of benefitting them, not directly benefitting them or intentionally benefitting them. If they happened to benefit, then yes that’s a good thing but I don’t think any of the changes that were made are to intentionally serve people who have been living here for the last two generations.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56992c1f5827c3b1bc39a2c6/1576464918667-5EGZJ9ZSCJ90DGHLKOV4/Ms+Moment.jpeg Gentrification in the Nation's Capital - School Psychologist, Monica Moment, works with students at Banneker High School and Washington Metropolitan High School. Ms. Moment has experienced segregation, integration and now gentrification. She was also once a longtime resident of Washington, D.C. moving to the area in 1983 from the South. When she moved to Washington, D.C. she noted that it was her first time living among so many African Americans who also owned businesses in their communities. Ms. Moment shared that in her experience, gentrification impacts the students she works with “socially, emotionally and psychologically.” She goes on to state that currently, “the types of books that they’re reading does not fully represent who they are. The type of history that they are receiving does not match African American history. We are preparing our children to acculturate.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56992c1f5827c3b1bc39a2c6/1576465374973-0JLN75FDDAQ0WOZP3MSD/chart.jpg Gentrification in the Nation's Capital (Source Kathryn Howell, Housing Studies 2016) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56992c1f5827c3b1bc39a2c6/1576465708792-A3Y8GSFAEC1PUQ37COGY/howard.jpeg Gentrification in the Nation's Capital Howard University (December 12, 2019), the location where students and new residents clashed over campus grounds being used for public leisure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56992c1f5827c3b1bc39a2c6/1576465782595-QQG8KEP49FKXOLWL9EZB/bohemian+caverns.jpeg Gentrification in the Nation's Capital Bohemian Caverns (December 12, 2019), the historic music venue located in what was once known as Black Broadway, shut its doors in 2016. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56992c1f5827c3b1bc39a2c6/1576465851115-20W1R22OHHIQPKODKDPN/sankofa.jpeg Gentrification in the Nation's Capital Sankofa Cafe (December 12, 2019), the neighborhood staple has been finding difficulty keeping it’s doors open due to rising property taxes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56992c1f5827c3b1bc39a2c6/1576465926125-3T0DHEZTLKRTXN6NRYB8/copycat.jpeg Gentrification in the Nation's Capital Copycat Co.
