President Barack Obama and Congressman Jesse Jackson endorse the preservation of public housing history and have written letters of support for the National Public Housing Museum in Chicago.
Philadelphia should follow Chicago's example in the preservation and recognition of public housing history by placing an historic marker at the old Liddonfield site. Housing projects all over the US are being demolished due to the HOPE VI Program. Liddonfield was located in the Upper Holmesburg section of Northeast Philadelphia. An online history of Liddonfield with true stories about some of its former residents can be viewed at PublicHousingStories.com.
