Piermont Library Screens What Happened to Jackson Avenue

Thursday, January 30 at 6pm, Piermont Library, 25 Flywheel Park, Piermont

Join special guests Bill Batson and Barbara Williams on Thursday, January 30th, at 6:00 pm for a screening of What Happened to Jackson Avenue: A Story of Urban Renewal.

What Happened to Jackson Avenue offers a rare, real-life account of the human impact of Urban Renewal. Through interviews with people who experienced Nyack’s Urban Renewal first-hand, the film tells the story of how the intended revitalization ultimately resulted in the destruction of an entire community. 

Bill Batson, whose family was displaced by the misguided policy, and Barbara Williams, who lived in Nyack during this time, were interviewed by the filmmakers and will participate in a discussion following the screening.

What Happened to Jackson Avenue, a film by Hakima Alem and Rudi Gohl was produced by Phoenix Theater Ensemble.
