Before Tropicana Field, there was the Gas Plant Neighborhood—a thriving Black community displaced in the name of progress. Razed shares the powerful first-hand stories of those who lost their homes and challenges us to consider the true cost of redevelopment.
Following the screening, join filmmaker Andrew Lee for a panel discussion with Gwendolyn Reese (producer, historian, former resident, and cast member), Sandy Katz Brasch (daughter of the owners of Katz Grocery, a Jewish-owned business in the Gas Plant Neighborhood), and former resident Carlos Lovett as they reflect on the neighborhood’s legacy, the impact of displacement, and the importance of preserving community history.
