Public Allies, Los Angeles Class 2017-2018 Team Service Project
Hearts Of South Central: Narratives of Gentrification and Health
ABOUT:
For this year’s 2017-2018 Public Allies Los Angeles cohort, one of our Team Service Projects focused on the effects of gentrification on health. We will be publishing a series of interviews, poem, and infographics created and conducted by Allies that capture community member experiences from South Central Los Angeles.
These collective poems, interviews, and narratives provide insight on the impacts of gentrification and displacement on the health of South Central residents.
