Housing Rights: Sojourner Truth





















Michigan State Troops guard African-American families moving into the Sojourner Truth housing project, April 29, 1942. In 1942, the Sojourner Truth Projects were built to provide housing for Black workers. However, the federal government placed the projects in a predominately white neighborhood. In February of 1942, a protest by 1,200 white workers as black families tried to move into their homes. The protest quickly became violent and resulted in arrests. It was not until the following April that the families moved in, this time under the guard of over 1000 armed troops. The outbreak served as an omen of the troubles to come in the next spring.

We were Humans

WE WERE HUMANS

The uproar of the poor becomes more acute when one thinks about the enormous cost that the "arms race" presents.

It has been estimated, that in 2000 the world spent 756 billion dollars on arms.

This figure would have been enough to feed for a year, 4 billion poor children (almost the entire population of the earth).

The price of a war tank is enough to build schools for 30 thousand students.

The cost of a jetfighter represents that of 40000 pharmacies.

90 countries are still suffering from the plague of the antipersonnel
landmines; 20.000 people a year become victims of these landmine
explosions.

Half of the victims of the last fifty years of conflicts have been
children.

It is estimated that in the whole world there are more than 300.000 child soldiers.

In industrialized countries military expenses are 30 times greater than aid to developing countries.

The average price of a landmine

Production USD 8,00

deactivation USD 5,000

Modern war's victims are:
34% children
59% civilians
7% Soldiers
