Knoxville Determines Urban Removal Funding. Post BLM.

What’s happening? Some moons ago, post Black Lives Matter, in the new world we have before us, Knoxville created a task force to consider the amount of reparations to the Black Community for the forced urban removal that the Black Community endured.

Why is this important? Urban “renewal” efforts disproportionately impacted Black and Biopic communities and removed them from their communities. Knoxville is committing $100 million funded through grants that still must be secured.

How will this be important? Knoxville will offer resources to help livelihoods and open opportunities to build generational wealth.
