Gentrification has caused many urban renewal projects to change the face of the community, both physically and psychologically. This process of change has been inflicted upon the community members. This thesis begins to present the voices and feelings of North Northeast Portland residents by exploring the history of the neighborhood and introducing readers to two residents of the area who have given their lives to helping North Northeast Portland and thrive. Accompanying this documentary is an investigation of the theoretical methods of ethnography and photojournalism employed for this study.1529485 bytesapplication/pdfen-USThesis
