Yes the 1960's began the urban renewal movement that was part of President Johnson's vision of a Great Society. It would not surprise me of some of the funds were used in Brush Park, but the areas hardest hit by the urban removal bulldozer were the areas known for working class Blacks, Irish, and Maltese: what is now known as Lafayette Park and Corktown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Cities_Program
