Chinatown Needs Housing Not Jail
<p><em>Chinatown Needs Housing Not Jail</em> explores the history of the Lower Manhattan jail site, the “Tombs”, and the interwoven histories that led to the current mobilization against jail expansion. Sparked by the discovery of four placards worn by demonstrators against Mayor Ed Koch’s expansion of the jail in 1982, the publication includes documentation of the signs along with archival images and texts about the history of the site by Daylon Orr and Canal Street Research Association.</p> <p>Released on the last day of June 2022 in an edition of 100.</p>
