<Tr> <Td> March </Td> <Td> Alisha Wormsley </Td> <Td> there / are / black people / in the / future </Td> </Tr> <P> In March 2018, The Last Billboard's landlord, We Do Property, in response to complaints from community members who felt the sign was racist, removed Alisha Wormsley's text from the billboard . Jon Rubin, the billboard's founder and creator, responded in a statement in response to the removal: </P> <P> I believe in the power, poetry, and relevance of Alisha's text and see absolutely no reason it should have been taken down . I find it tragically ironic, given East Liberty's history and recent gentrification, that a text by an African American artist affirming a place in the future for black people is seen as unacceptable in the present . </P> <P> A public panel discussion about the text and its removal is expected to be hosted by the Kelly Strayhorn Theater in April or May 2018 . </P>
