A Washington, D.C., neighborhood devastated by riots in 1968 is unrecognizable today, as high-end development rises directly on top of Black neighborhoods. "If you devalue the whole area, you can redevelop the whole area based on a particular narrative of it," said Brandi T.

Her book "Black in Place" followed the transformation of H Street Northeast in Washington after the riots.
