SOUL

The University of Pennsylvania has a long history of displacement and gentrification in Philadelphia, often disregarding pre-existing communities. Penn is responsible for the displacement of the Lenni-Lenape Indians in the late 18th century and the black residents who lived in the Black Bottom neighborhood in the middle of the 20th century. Today, buildings like New College House and the Pennovation Center continue to gentrify its surrounding area. This demonstration is meant to bring awareness to the centuries of exploitation on the land where Penn stands. If you would like to learn more about anti-gentrification efforts in Philly, visit the Philadelphia Tenants Union at www.phillytenantsunion.org
You can also Venmo and we can donate to the Tenants Union on your behalf.

OPINION | Penn’s New Food Hall: $10 Ice Cream and a Slice of Gentrification Owens: Franklin’s Table is an overpriced and elitist replacement for what was one of the last spots where locals could feel welcome on campus.
