\nleader, historian, and activist, outside in the Nyack parking lot next to
\nMain Street planning the Nyack performing arts festival. At one point Bill
\nstanding in some empty parking spaces said, \u201cThis was Jackson Avenue, our
\nfamily house stood here\u201d \u2013 thus began a 2-year journey leading to this
\npowerful documentary film about the urban renewal program in 1960\u2019s Nyack.
\n\u201cWhat Happened to Jackson Avenue, a story of urban renewal\u201d covers an urban
\nrenewal program that removed 125 families (79% Black). These families lost
\ntheir homes, families, community and generational wealth. The film includes
\npersonal and emotional stories from individuals who were present and saw
\nthe destruction of their community, some of whom are now in their 80s and
\n90s and want to be heard.
\nThis screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
