When reading the articles regarding the building of I-496, I find myself wondering how I would feel if I were forced to leave the home that I had been raised in and told that I would no longer be able to live there. The neighborhood and the people that I grew up with would soon be taken from me and it would be just as hard for them as it is for myself. I also see that in order for Lansing and the outside areas to flourish and grow I-496 was crucial for that to take place. Some questions that I would like to have answered for anyone coming to see a museum exhibit are:
-What was the driving force behind the construction of I-496?
-Where did the people that were forced to move end up going?
-When did the people who were going to be relocated realize that they were going to have to leave their homes? What was their reaction?
