TrailOff: The Land Remembers (John Heinz Refuge)
The Land Remembers by Jacob Winterstein follows the John Heinz Refuge Trail
About the story:
In the late 1950's as part of Urban Renewal, Philadelphia displaced over 8,000 residents from Eastwick aka The Meadows. The area was one of Philly’s only harmoniously integrated neighborhoods at a time when many racist housing policies were legal. In The Land Remembers, Nick (aka Nickel, aka Abe aka Abraham) reminisces about his last days living there.
