Indie Lens Storycast's video: Alright: Surviving Resegregation in Silicon Valley We Gon Be Alright Ep 1

Jeff Chang visits East Palo Alto, a historically Black and Latino community in the heart of Silicon Valley, to hang out with rapper, dancer and performer Isaiah Phillips a.k.a. Randy McPhly, who appeared in Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” video. They talk about the domino effects of gentrification and displacement, resegregating an area where the rents have been rising dramatically and people of color feel like they're not part of the future.
