James Baldwin, 1963: “They were tearing down his house, because San Francisco is engaged, as most Northern cities now are engaged, in something called ‘urban renewal’, which means moving the Negroes out. It means Negro removal, that is what it means. And the Federal government is an accomplice to this fact.”
