It was quite obvious that Jamaica was "turning Black" in the 70's. The neighborhood itself.They thought that removal of the el would make the neighborhood "look better" so that "whites" from outside Jamaica would still come to Jamaica to shop. What they didn't realize is that not only would that not happen, the el took away the shopping district's lifeline of people coming from other neighborhoods to shop there. |
