WHAT HAPPENED TO JACKSON AVENUE: A Story of Urban Renewal

WHAT HAPPENED TO JACKSON AVENUE
A Story of Urban Renewal
A Documentary Film by Hakima Alem and Rudi Gohl
In the summer of 2019 Clara Francesca, Elise Stone, and Craig Smith from
Phoenix Theatre Ensemble were meeting with Bill Batson, Nyack community
leader, historian, and activist, outside in the Nyack parking lot next to
Main Street planning the Nyack performing arts festival. At one point Bill
standing in some empty parking spaces said, “This was Jackson Avenue, our
family house stood here” – thus began a 2-year journey leading to this
powerful documentary film about the urban renewal program in 1960’s Nyack.
“What Happened to Jackson Avenue, a story of urban renewal” covers an urban
renewal program that removed 125 families (79% Black). These families lost
their homes, families, community and generational wealth. The film includes
personal and emotional stories from individuals who were present and saw
the destruction of their community, some of whom are now in their 80s and
90s and want to be heard.
This screening will be followed by a panel discussion.

Stories For Freedom
2024-06-26 19:00 - 21:00
Stories for Freedom has gathered ten storytellers, who have been cultivating practices of liberation within their work and lives, to join a TMI Project true storytelling workshop to craft their stories of love, resistance, and growth; stories that can be used to further their work and serve as a blueprint for radical generations to come.
By crafting radically true stories, Stories for Freedom amplifies the voices of artists, activists, and artivists to inspire identification and belonging in audience members, and challenge all of us to take bold action in the disruption of systemic oppression.
The cohort includes people selected from an international call, hailing from our hometown of Kingston, as well as across the US, and as far off as South Africa.
Stories for Freedom pays specific homage to the practices of liberation that have emerged from Black and Indigenous communities. For centuries, Black and Indigenous communities have created templates for other marginalized groups to take action to resist oppression. This program aims to acknowledge and celebrate these roots.
