Draft talk:Mandela, Massachusetts

Here is what is currently in the Roxbury, MA article - "In 1986, the Greater Roxbury Incorporation Project sought to create a 12.5 square-mile city that included the entirety of Roxbury and Mattapan as well as portions of Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Fenway, Columbia Point and the South End that was to be called "Mandela" after Nelson Mandela. In 1988, a referendum was defeated that would have examined the feasibility of reincorporation because the organizers of the movement believed that the area would flourish if they could create their own government that would not discriminate against minorities."

Here is a link to the previous Mandela, MA article which now redirects to Roxbury - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mandela,_Massachusetts&oldid=332090586

A map in Wikicommons might be nice -- showing the neighborhoods, if there is one out of copryright.

Surely the architect and urban planner Curtis Davis deserves a Wikipedia entry. Johannes der Taucher (talk) 23:32, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
