Item Information

Title:
Demonstrators stand on the corner of Washington Street and Oak Street in Chinatown protesting Liberty Place project
Description:
The Chinese Progressive Association led a campaign called "Fight Liberty Place," which opposed the proposal to build a 30-story upscale apartment complex in Chinatown, believing that escalating rents and overdevelopment would force out residents. Protesters hold signs that read, "Wanted affordable housing!"; "Save Chinatown"; "Chinatown is for 8-story [building]. Why is Liberty [Place] 30-stories?"; and "Hands Off Our Community: We Won't Move!"
