She said the properties bought
by PDC were paid for and reloca
tion paym ents were m ade, but
admitted that the assessed value
was low. She also said that prior
to 1971, Emanuel purchased 101
properties, and no relocation as
sistance was given to these resi
dents or others who “voluntarily”
left the neighborhood.
W oolley said Emanuel was pre
pared to make a covenant to “work
with the com m unity in the future,
to keep you informed, get your
input, and not forget the past.”
The reaction from those at
tending the breakfast was mixed.
Dr. Andrae Brown said, “This
is a great opportunity to do a
process o f healing - if the intent is
to heal. From my perspective, it
seems you want to tell the story,
invite people to see a m em orial,
and m ove on with no repair, no
reparations. This involves w ork
ing with com m unity partners to
repair the dam age.”
Com m unity activist Lolenzo
Poe said, “I’m a lot less excited
about the covenant. I already knew
y o u ’d done w rong. I’m m ore
interested in what you'll do about
it.” He suggested that Legacy do
m ore to provide affordable m edi
cal care in the com m unity. “If we
d o n 't get som ething solid and
tangible out o f it, this has just
been a nice breakfast,” he said.

G ordley, w ho said her fam ily

rem arks, and said that the city
needs to share som e o f the re
sp o n sib ility for the dislo catio n
and “take som e o f the hatred
aw ay from E m anuel.”
E m a n u e l’s R e c o n c ilia tio n
Project stands in stark contrast to
PD C ’s 50th anniversary celebra
tion last year, which m ade no

newal-related displacem ent.
