I saw an exhibit at the Broad Museum which included displays from minority communities in Lansing. This included some photos and stories about the building of 496. They displayed a story about the video "They Even Took the Dirt" about the neighborhood that was taken down for the highway. I know the video had been around for a while, but this is the first time I saw it. I was just a kid, but the pictures really sparked my memories. The west side was mainly black folks [not all] but it was not a slum by any means. It was really very nice. It is sad to think of what a racist community Lansing was. Check it out if you have not.
