Kawaida project resumes amid picket line victory claim
At Newark's Kawaida Towers site six laborers returned to work after a Thanksgiving pause while white protesters blocked access. Three workers refused to cross the line and two black workers left early due to unfinished prep. About 150 protesters stood outside as authorities allowed entry under court limits. Independent Anthony Imperiale hailed the absence of crossing crafts as a victory for the demonstrators. Groundbreaking for the 16 story low middle income building occurred in October with no further progress since November 9.
