While the area is predominantly white, I saw many Black and Hispanic people outside walking with their kids, going to the park, or visiting Deterding’s supermarket right across the street.While growing up in that area, many of my friends were first generation citizens coming from households where their parents didn’t speak English fluently. Yet, they worked hard to become part of the community and made a life for themselves and their families. I think that the majority of people don’t see the diversity and culture of this area that is never-ending and always exciting
About 14% of my community lives in poverty. When most people hear Lindenwold Borough, they get a foul taste in their mouth since they are only familiar with what is displayed in the news or social media. They only retain information about the crime rate, which is said to be a significant percentage above the national crime average. However, to me, Lindenwold is the place I call home.
I implore this Commission to make sure that my community’s voice is not overpowered by the white majority representation. Please, whatever decision is made, make sure that my community receives the attention that it deserves. We deserve to have our voice heard.
