When an election rolls around, most of us know what to do on voting day. With varying degrees of enthusiasm, we go to our closest polling place, give our details and cast our ballots. After a century of compulsory voting, it seems pretty straightforward.

The streets that were once filled with the vibrant culture and deep-rooted history of Black communities are now being transformed, often in the name of progress. Gentrification, a process where urban neighborhoods are renovated and upgraded, has become a controversial topic.

As these areas change, the economic fabric that once supported these communities is slowly torn apart, leading to displacement and a loss of cultural identity.
