South 9th Street in Newark, NJ is undergoing a change. Thanks to real estate development company Mid-Atlantic Alliance.  On May 9th, 2009 they sponsored a neighborhood cleanup as part of their Black Wall Street Development Project. I had the pleasure of photographing the event that included a mortgage workshop led by Kirk Charles. Be sure to check out the slideshow below from the images I took.
