"Who gets to be an American?" is partly rooted in attaining the American Dream, but what happens if we deny part of that dream to some members of our community? And what if denying access to the American Dream opens those communities to being further ostracized, othered, and excluded?
Can we envision a just future by remembering a history of exclusion? Strengthen your memory activism by recognizing that this moment today reflects a history of communities of color being excluded and then blamed during past health crises.
Log on May 26th to learn more about how housing discrimination and segregation has played a role in racial disparities being laid bare in today's COVID-19 pandemic. Join us to understand the connections in "Health, Hate, Housing and History: Lessons at the Intersection of Race and Pandemics."
