“I’ve made a life in this area you know, with my mom and my sisters. I, you know, have a job here, I have friends here, I go to school here and I feel like I shouldn’t have to leave because a bunch of white men in suits with too much money wants us to.” – Amier Lane, age 16
“It’s not right for him [Jeff Berding] to take our homes and kick us out.” What would she tell Jeff Berding if he were there? “I would say, ‘You should go’.” -J’me Rogers, age 9
