I examined the importance of urban murals and gardens as representations of real Black, Latinx, and Asian communities rather than tourist attractions. I found that many recent gentrification efforts have caused concern for these minority communities because they do not want to have to leave a place where their roots are so deeply sewn, yet tourism is important to maintain each neighborhood\u2019s economic structure. The murals display residents\u2019 pride and connection to their communities. Often, they depict minority leaders whose work was impactful or inspirational. The gardens show the citizen\u2019s efforts in not only trying to stay in their communities but bettering their communities. While many of these neighborhoods are seen as run down and unwelcoming, they are actually representative of culturally rich areas at risk of being negatively impacted by gentrification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping the Culture Alive: Using Representation to Combat Gentrification in Urban Communities Presented at the ELDAAG\u00a0Fall 2018 Regional Division Meeting, Ohio Northern University This poster summarizes research done in Baltimore, Washington D.C. and San Francisco in Summer 2017.
