  • African American Heritage Trail Washington, DC Dear Washingtonians and Visitors
    African American Heritage Trail Washington, DC Dear Washingtonians and Visitors, Welcome to the African American Heritage Trail for Washington, DC! It is my honor to present this latest edition of the guide to the inspiring history of African Americans in this world-class city. From Benjamin Banneker’s essential role in the survey of the District in 1791, to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963 and beyond, African Americans have made DC a capital of activism and culture. John H. Fleet, a physician, teacher, and abolitionist, called Georgetown home. Ralph J. Bunche, a professor, United Nations negotiator, and Nobel Peace Prize recipi- ent settled in Brookland. Anthony Bowen, an abolitionist, community leader, and Underground Railroad conductor changed the world from a modest home in Southwest. Washington is where advisor to U.S. presidents Mary McLeod Bethune, activist A. Phillip Randolph, poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, and visual artist Lois Mailou Jones all lived and made their careers. On the African American Heritage Trail, you’ll see important sites in the lives of each of these remarkable people. You’ll also encounter U Street, long a hub for African American theater and music; Howard University, the flagship of African American higher education; and Anacostia, a historic black suburb once home to Frederick Douglass. Alongside these paragons of American history and culture, generations of African Americans from all walks of life built strong communities, churches, businesses, Front cover: Esquisse for Ode to Kinshasa by Lois Mailou Jones, and other institutions that have made DC the vital city Museum of Women in the Arts; George E.C.

  • Acre and Lod - a Story of Neglect and Discriminatory Conservation
    Acre and Lod - a Story of Neglect and Discriminatory Conservation While fear and violence dominate the streets in mixed cities, the construction of the Mosaic Museum in Lod is nearing completion. The museum will be situated on the site of one of the most magnificent mosaics from the late Roman period in the country (3rd-4rth century CE). The mosaic itself was unearthed in 1996, but only recently a donor was found to enable the construction of the museum at a cost of roughly 30 million shekels. The mosaic is located in the neighborhood of Ramat Eshkol in Lod, one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city and at the center of the violence of recent days. The Ramat Eshkol neighborhood borders the old city of Lod. Both neighborhoods are characterized by a mixed population with an Arab majority and Jewish minority. In the city of Lod at large, the majority is Jewish and a minority Arab. The old city of Lod was mostly destroyed in the 1950s with the exception of a few historic buildings that attest to the varied history of the city over hundreds of years. Most of the streets in Ramat Eshkol have been given Hebrew names taken from Zionist history: Hagdud Ha'ivri, Hechalutz street (Pioneer Street), Ha'aliya street and more. The names stand in contrast to the neglect and composition of the population. The Ramat Eshkol Neighborhood in Lod, a tin shack with a sign "Good Luck Kiosk". HaGdud Ha'ivri street in Ramat Eshkol neighborhood of Lod Ostensibly there is no connection between the emerging mosaic museum and the politics and poverty which underly the violence rocking the neighborhood.

To render these dynamics visible, we explore the case of Acre—a pre-1948 Palestinian city located in the north-west of Israel which during the last three decades has been receiving about one hundred Jewish immigrant families annually. Our findings reveal a dramatic change in the attempts to judaise the city: Mobility policies through neoliberal means have not only been instru- mental in continuing the processes of displacement and dispossession of the Palestinians in this so-called ‘mixed city,’ but have also recruited new actors and created new techniques and opportunities to accelerate the judaisation of the few Palestinian spaces left. Moreover, these new mobility policies normalise judaisation of the city, both academically and practically, through globally trendy paradigms and discourses.

  • Evaluating Adaptive Reuse Alternatives of a Multi-Layered Port City Acre, Israel
    Evaluating Adaptive Reuse Alternatives of a Multi-Layered Port City Acre, Israel Ana Jayone Yarza Pérez Bezalel Academy of Art and Design Jerusalem Israel Abstract Acre is a port city in the north-western part of Israel, with a history that goes back more than 4000 years. Being inscribed on the World Heritage List, the Old City of Acre preserves the urban and architectural elements of a historic town. Its outstanding value relies on the Crusader remnants preserved under the Ottoman city, showcasing the dynamism and continuous change of Mediterranean port cities. Moreover, the presence of various religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Bahai, adds to its complexity, expressed as monuments and religious sites that enrichen Acre’s cultural heritage. The dramatic change in values over the past decades has a direct impact on the built environment and the citizen’s lifestyles, in some cases jeopardising the physical elements and drastically influencing people’s lives. This paper aims to analyse the changes linked to the sea: livelihoods, tourism, and recreational use; and the change of use of the khan, as both the sea and the khan are constant elements in the city. The analysis of these processes serves as the starting point to identify changes in values which can enhance development or promote gentrification, and in the case of Khan Al-Umdan and its vicinity, we aim to recognise the lights and shadows that followed the adaptive reuse evaluation procedure, and the influence of the multiple narratives in its development. The conclusions will provide a solid base on which to develop a methodology on the one hand, identify changing processes, such as gentrification; and on the other, to evaluate adaptive reuse alternatives of cultural heritage in contested societies and changing values.
