Overview
Rachelle’s visual arts mapping project shows how Black people have resisted forced removal from their communities by preserving the traditional cultural practice of "posting up on the block". Black youth will take their own "Street View" images and layer them with historical photographs taken in the same spaces. The images will be added to a website that photomaps black Philadelphia.
