"'Ousting Rumors' cause Lakeland Uproar"

The newspaper above showcases the black community’s effort to bring awareness to the displacement of Lakeland residents caused by UMD.

Using their voice and autonomy, the Lakeland resisted the displacement vehemently and took every effort to maintain ownership of their community.
