Roots of Division and the Struggle for Solidarity in Essex County
led by Dr. Mia White, Dr. Mindy Fullilove and Molly Rose Kaufman
Centuries of structural dis/investment in Essex County has multiplied division and inequality in the socio-physical environment. Years of municipal neglect and infrastructure carve-ups have threatened to naturalize our differences. As a result, our communities need opportunities to remember our shared histories as one important step towards healing and reconnection. In this interactive workshop we will review policies that shaped our current environment and identify the many cultural and community assets in our region. We will ground in restoration urbanism: understanding urban fracture and the methodology of reweaving.
Mondays, July 27, August 3, and August 10 from 6:30pm-8pm at The HUUB, 35 Cleveland Street, Orange, NJ, and a neighborhood walk Saturday, August 8, 10am-noon. Meet at HUUB.
