[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ Some of your points are well taken. But the neighbor who told the news that the campus should be moved, is clueless and antagonistic. Here's a link with the video. https://www.theroot.com/move-the-campus-gentrifyinggeorge-says-students-shoul-1834172297[/quote] Yes, there is definitely a racial/gentrification component here--some of the students feel like they're being "Columbused" and that the gentrifiers are being disrespectful to Howard's legacy. This is in the context of recent discussions about the rapid pace of gentrification here, #dontmuteDC, etc. Also I'm sure some of the gentrifiers aren't helping the situation either, like the clueless guy that suggested moving the campus.[/quote]
