SUMMARY:Black Literature: A Device for Equitable Change
DESCRIPTION:A night of discussion on Black literature for equitable change. \nJoin the Center for Black Literature for our Black History Month program\, where we present a powerful and timely conversation featuring two dynamic voices at the intersection of community\, capital\, and justice. \nMajora Carter\, author of Reclaiming Your Community: You Don’t Have to Move Out of Your Neighborhood to Live in a Better One\, is a real estate developer\, urban revitalization strategist\, and MacArthur Fellow whose work centers on building sustainable\, equitable communities from within. \nShe will be joined in conversation with Dr. Rachel Laryea\, author of Black Capitalists\, whose research and scholarship examine race\, money\, and the role of Black entrepreneurship in the ongoing struggle for civil and human rights. \nTogether\, they will explore how literature\, lived experience\, and economic strategy can be used to confront systemic obstacles\, illuminate injustice\, and inspire meaningful change—while sustaining and strengthening individuals and communities during challenging times. \nThe conversation will be moderated by Dr. Shelagh Patterson\, poet\, scholar\, and educator\, and Professor of English & World Languages at Medgar Evers College of The City University of New York. \nRegister Now
