“They are raising the rents so high, like that, with a job, the menial jobs that we have or get, the money we will receive- we won’t be able to pay rent! So where we going to go? They are pushing us further, and further, an further- out of Harlem.” -From, “Dark Ghetto: Dilemmas of Social Power” By: Kenneth B. Clark
