Third Ward
THIRD WARD
A culture all its own
Defined only by the people
Who have lived and worked and sacrificed
There, for the people who dream of life outside it
And people who want to improve
The culture of Third Ward
Gentrification is not improving a culture
It is removing it
Living together
Is not ignoring the people
Who lived there
Worked for their homes
Fought for their businesses
And strived only for excellence
It is accepting them and building off them
But since people won’t listen
Since they won’t change
The world will never change
And neither will the lives of millions
Of people of color
