How did Newark, New Jersey become a poor city in a wealthy region?
"An island of poverty in a vast ocean of material prosperity"
Homeownership and the Racial Wealth Gap in Newark, NJ
LEARN MORE: www.myleszhang.org/2024/03/05/homeownership-and-the-racial-wealth-gap/
This is a Newark History Society program, co-sponsored by NJPAC and the Newark Public Library.
The world’s largest concentration of wealth is in the New York City metropolitan area, yet the region contains many under-resourced cities, including Newark. What historical factors created this division between low-income Newark and its wealthy neighbors along lines of race, housing, income and social class?
The agents of change are more complex and nuanced than a simple narrative of redlining and white flight following the 1967 uprising. From discriminatory actions by the Federal Housing Administration and highways that carved through the urban fabric, to suburbs that pulled middle-class families away from Newark and factories that relocated outside of the city, contemporary poverty in Newark was more than a century in the making.
Drawing from the archives of the Newark Public Library, this presentation examines the range of challenges Newark faces and how the city overcomes.
The presenter is Myles Zhang, urban historian and doctoral candidate in architecture at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

    It's not white people's obligation to stay in declining neighborhoods to fund everything for another community. Blacks could have and did receive the va loans but majority of black military members never went to their state to apply. The same places that are hurting financially and with violence were once good areas when they were majority white so when black people took over it should have been a cake walk to keep the cities up and running and maintained. Banks have a system for loan applications for a reason.. why would you loan money to have it spent on a failing area

    Detroit is perhaps the coolest American City. It has a well laid out downtown with iconic Woodward enveloping Campus Martius Park with music in the air, right downtown, surrounded by a free monorail, very green too. Bundle this in with Strait and the boats and the ever present sound of Motown in the back ground there is nothing else like it. Perhaps most of all Dtwah has captured the imagination, why we still talk about it so much.

    Being a Michigan native descendant, it needs to be made clearer that the majority of the White Pine was located in Central Michigan. Detroit was not, and is NOT the entire state. When Michigan became a state, it sold off the pine forests for much needed revenue for operations. The White Pine and well as Oak was sent down to Grand Rapids for processing into lumber that was sent out for construction during the western expansion. The rest was used in the manufacturing of furniture. After the land was scalped of the trees, it was transformed into agricultural use by settlers from Ohio and parts of Europe. Many of these Setters were Free Blacks and mixed race people. You may be interested in further details of this story that can be found in THE MECOSTA-MORTON VIDEO TOUR and A NATION WITHIN ITSELF, which is also on UA-cam.

    Quand j'étais petit garçon, j'ai rencontré une fois une énorme tortue luth de la taille d'un ballon de football, et la bouche de la tortue puait parce qu'elle avait des morceaux de fibres textiles et des animaux morts dans ses dents. J'ai apporté la tortue à un vieil homme de notre rue qui était soldat. Il l'a aidée, mais la tortue est morte au bout de quelques jours. Je l'avais dans ma chambre, sous le lit, mais comme il sentait si mauvais, mon père m'a ordonné de le remettre dans la rue.

    Racism and politics are what ruined Detroit. In 1980 there was still 1.2 million people. Loss of jobs, cutting education funding, allowing dryg traffic and every devilish device imaginable once the city became majority black. Even white flight was spurred intentionally. Whites were frightened into selling their homes by banks and block busting realtors looking to make a profit by overcharging blacks for the homes that whites vacated. Then the whites were able to get low interest loans for brand new homes in the suburbs. Since banks would write loans in Detroit and blacks couldn't move to the burbs, many were left to buy on land contract.
