Do something meaningful this year for Black History Month. Immerse yourself in the food, culture, and history of Boston’s neighborhoods of color, focusing on the impact of redlining. As we all know, the effect of redlining still exists, and it’s still affecting communities of color within the Boston area. Redlining is a policy enforced by banks and government agencies that deny loans, mortgages, and other financial services to people living in predominantly Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous neighborhoods. Although discriminatory practices such as these were banned over 50 years ago, minorities are still dealing with the consequences of redlining and the perpetuated cycles of inequality holding back the progress of these vibrant communities. As we work towards a more equitable and just future, it is crucial to acknowledge and address the lingering effects of redlining in Boston and to ensure genuine inclusive growth and prosperity for all. Join Live Like a Local Tours Boston CEO, Collin Knight and founder of Afrimerican Academy, MARLON SOLOMON, on February 3rd, in the middle of Roxbury’s Nubian Square! Learn more about neighborhoods of color on this captivating tour, where you’ll enjoy some good food, support local businesses, and learn about the past and present history of redlining. Book now by visiting https://lnkd.in/dAGMRiT4 Join us in learning more about redlining, and how they impact Boston’s neighborhoods of color. #nubiansquare #roxbury #bostonfood #bostontours #bostonhistory #blackboston

SILVER LAKE LOS ANGELES GUIDE BELOW: https://lnkd.in/gWTPy8uR Welcome to the Los Angeles community of Silver Lake. Our neighborhood guide contains an intimate glimpse of the best art, shopping, nightlife, modern architecture, and the many architecturally significant and historical homes built by John Lautner, Richard Neutra, Edward A. Adams, Eric Lloyd Wright, Raphael Soriano, and Harwell Hamilton. Silver Lake is located northeast of downtown, in an area once known variously as Edendale and Ivanhoe, a beautiful landscape of hills and glens southwest of the Los Angeles River. Homes active on the market today range from $750,000 upwards to $ 4.395mil, while condominiums fall between $375,000 and $1.689mil. 296 homes have sold from December 1st of this year with average days on the market of 29 or 6 more than the previous year with an average price sold per sq/ft at $956.14 down from $1,032.55 the previous year. If you're thinking about buying a home in the Silver Lake market today you have more leverage than you did one year ago. The market is tremendously active in Silver Lake, with demand that is reflected in both neighborhood-sensitive and property-specific ways. Those homes that have architectural significance are one of the hottest tickets in town. Culturally, Silver Lake has always had a reputation for being home to artists, musicians, writers, and creative people, unique in its acceptance of a racially and ideologically diverse as well as politically progressive population. Harry Hay’s Mattachine Society and the Black Cat Bar, thought to be originating points of the gay rights movement in Los Angeles, were also located in the neighborhood. Some of the most celebrated and revered architects in the last century built their own personal residences in Silverlake, and the stars aren't just in this sky here with neighbors like Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, Chris Pine, Fred Armisen, Katy Perry, and many others from radio, television, and film. #shelhamergroup #shelhamerrealestategroup #silverlake #silverlakelosangeles #silverlakelosangelesrealestate #silverlakehomesforsale #silverlakelistingagent #silverlakesellingagent

To my LinkedIn friends and colleagues, Some of you are aware of my passion for documentaries covering topics such as industry, government, public figures, and transportation. It's my privilege to share with you a documentary (see YouTube link below) about my hometown of Jefferson City, MO, which captures the oral history of residents from a black neighborhood known as "The Foot". This area was a vibrant mixed-use community, boasting everything from hotels to grocery stores. When it came to entertainment, The Foot was a hotspot where talented musical acts like Ike and Tina Turner often performed. I'm sharing this video not just because it's about my hometown, where many of my family members still reside, but because it provides a broader insight into the issue of Urban Renewal. We all know that Urban Renewal initiatives were largely destructive practices that disproportionately affected low-income and minority neighborhoods. However, too often, I think people associate Urban Renewal as an issue that only impacted large urban areas like Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, NYC, and St. Louis. Small cities, like the one I grew up in, also suffered from this same negative approach to planning, and the impacts it had on small communities were just as devastating for those who lived there as they were for residents of big cities. Many of you are involved in industries that support and lead projects with the potential to profoundly influence both infrastructure and the social fabric of the communities they serve. This documentary, along with other examples, serves as a reminder that what we do truly matters and can have a lasting and deep impact. We must never lose sight of this as we advise and lead such developments. Happy Black History Month! https://lnkd.in/gtXy9tfC

As we say at Ford, be curious! As we celebrate Black History Month, everyone knows Detroit has a rich heritage of Black prosperity being the home to the auto industry. Did you know that years ago, segregation forced Blacks to certain parts of the city (Paradise Valley the Black business district, and Black Bottom, called this by the early French settlers, due to the rich black farming soil)? Both communities were downtown close to the Detroit River, generational wealth was created and these neighborhoods thrived. The national highway system I-375, displaced these types of neighborhoods in Detroit and other cities, erasing Black generational wealth for so many. Though still in the planning stages to help right some past wrongs, let's look at what the city and the state are doing to acknowledge this and work to drive inclusion in this new downtown development district being built where these neighborhoods once were.

Knowledge work is about shared meaning making from day one! See what it looks like when research engagement actually starts as a partnership. For this study, Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County invited an advisory group of community leaders to re-define what access means for advancing Black homeownership. Over 100 community residents participated to deepen the understanding of what actually works. https://lnkd.in/eBm7Skrb #equity #knowledge4justice #socialchange

Happy Flag Day! Today, we celebrate the symbol of our nation's unity, pride, and freedom. Let's honor the stars and stripes that represent our values and history. Today, we commemorate the adoption of the American flag on June 14, 1777, by the Second Continental Congress. Flag Day is a time to honor the stars and stripes that symbolize our nation's unity, pride, and freedom. Flag Day celebrates: ✨ Historical Significance: The anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as our official flag. ✨ National Pride: An opportunity to show respect and reverence for the flag, symbolizing our nation's values and ideals. ✨ Patriotic Education: Educating citizens, especially the younger generation, about the flag's history and significance. ✨ Unity and Freedom: Representing the unity of the states and the freedoms our country stands for.

In December 2023, I was invited by Courtney Christensen from Kansas City Public Library to give a keynote to open their 150th anniversary celebrations. In January I learned that ART IN THE LOOP FOUNDATION, the public art program for #KansasCity run by Downtown Council of Kansas City, had been so inspired by the talk that they had chosen #convivencia as the theme for their public art summer with KC STREETCAR AUTHORITY. This is the impact that I hoped to see from my research. In my latest newsletter, Ann Holliday and Edwing Mendez talk about how the capability of #coexistence transformed into more than 20 performances and installations. I find this story of Kansas City so inspiring. The big takeaways from it are: 1. There is no greater tool for communicating values than #publicart. 2. Public authorities have power and should use their power on how public spaces are used as a platform for the arts. 3. The biggest investments in the arts are not done by growing the cultural budget but incorporating the arts into public infrastructure. 4. Even when working on serious subjects, like downturn revitalization, do not forget play and wonder. Read the entire article here: https://lnkd.in/e6P3Y-wc
