I don't know what most white people in this country feel.

I can only include what they feel from the state of their institutions.

Now, this is the evidence.

You want me to make an act of faith, risking myself, my wife, my woman, my sister, my children on some idealism which you assure me

in America, which I have never seen.

Welcome back to Black History for White People, a podcast where we educate, resource, and challenge

white people about black history.

I'm Brad, and on today's show are my co-host, Katina and Garing.

Today's topic is gentrification.

We first define gentrification, compare it with revitalization,

cover a little bit of urban renewal.

We give some examples, discuss the economics of gentrification,

and then we end it with some thoughts and ideas on how to fix it.

We hope you enjoy the discussion.

Before we dive into the episode, I wanted to catch some people up. I know we have a lot of new listeners

on some talking points that we have for the show and our voice within this space of black history and justice and learning.

I wanted to remind people that Garen and I are white.

We don't speak for every white person.

Katina's black. She doesn't speak for every black person.

We definitely don't want this to be the only space that you are getting

information and ideas and opinions from, but we really want to invite you to go to other spaces,

other podcasts, other authors, other musicians, other books, other media outlets to gather that.
