By this declaration, let the inhabitants of Holmesburg know that we, the former residents of Liddonfield Housing Project, shall not quietly disappear from the historical record. In keeping with the virtues of a just nation we shall exercise our inherent right as citizens to be recognized in the annals of history alongside the wealthy and the powerful of the City of Brotherly Love, for the degree of inclusion of its impoverished citizens is the measure of its professed truths.
We, therefore, want a historic marker placed at the site where Liddonfield once stood, acknowledging its significance as a reflection of the social policies of its time and the fortitude of those who lived there, having been isolated from the surrounding community by nature of its design and who persevered through great hardship despite their marginalization.
