Title
Unnamed Land Assessment Study of North Central Ann Arbor
Description
This unidentified land assessment of the North Central area of Ann Arbor provides context for the historical settlement of the region by Black residents, while providing ideas for its potential redevelopment. The focus on specific plots along North 4th Avenue connects with other materials from the period (see “Related Item(s)”) that recognize the street as a site of heavily contested meaning for the predominantly Black residents living there and increasingly encroaching forces looking to make a profit from the neighborhood.
