Proposed Fond du Lac Ave BID hopes to bring prosperity to Sherman Park

Three days changed the landscape and perception of Sherman Park.

After the officer-involved shooting death of Sylville Smith, several businesses were set ablaze, damaged or looted.

It was the epicenter of a social uprising demanding equality for the city’s African American population.

Those three days in August shaped the view of Sherman Park as a whole, even nearly seven years later.
