Unequal Housing and Transportation: The Fight to Live and Move Freely

Please join us on May 7th for an online event on Unequal Housing and Transportation: The Fight to Live and Move Freely. Deborah Archer will provide a grounding in the racism of transit infrastructure which she writes about in Dividing Lines: How Transportation Infrastructure Reinforces Racial Inequality. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor will extend this conversation to the racist financialization of housing and real estate, which she powerfully documents in Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership. Mia Bay will foreground resistance to these structures of oppression in her discussion of Traveling Black: A Story of Race and Resistance. Rosemary Ndubuizu will bring a gendered lens to this discussion of Black resistance to displacement, which she writes about in The Undesirable Many: Black Women and Their Struggles against Displacement and Housing Insecurity in the Nation’s Capital.
