Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A print by Sekou Cooke as part of “Rendered perspectives” from “We Outchea: Hip-Hop Fabrications and Public Space.” The print is set in a black and white city street. The sky is gray and there are several white buildings. The more foreground building has a house-shaped carving in the front, where an orange component has a black and white photograph of a family over it. In front of several other buildings are orange components also with black and white photographs. There are various scenes of people at the foreground. In the top center, white text reads [“THIS STORY IS TOLD ALONGSIDE THE WIDER HISTORY OF / PUBLIC HOUSING IN EAST LAKE IN ORDER TO ILLUSTRATE THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT / AT EAST LAKE, TOUTED BY MANY AS A GOLD STANDARD FOR / COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, IS MORE AN EXAMPLE OF / COMMUNITY REPLACEMENT THAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.”].
