"HOLDING GROUND, The Rebirth of Dudley Street" will
be shown on Tuesday, June 16, at 7 PM, in the Dickinson Room of the St.
Joseph County Library (304 S Main, SB). This 1997 documentary tells the
inspiring story of the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative and shows
how members of one Boston neighborhood were able to create and carry
out their own agenda for change. Through this initiative, residents
fought to close down illegal dumps, gained unprecedented control of
land from City Hall and created a comprehensive plan to rebuild the
fabric of their community. The event, sponsored by the Community Forum
for Economic Development, is free and open to the public.
