Allan Rohan Crite was both a history keeper and anti-gentrification activist, using his renderings of his neighbors in the South End and Lower Roxbury to document the displacement caused by urban renewal, which Crite referred to as “urban removal.” Join us as we discuss this complex history and the ways in which community trusts, neighborhood activists, policy makers, and artists today are striving to preserve and protect Boston’s diverse neighborhoods and communities.
