A jolting moment of awareness: What reconciliation requires Here’s a link to my piece in the June issue of Broadview Magazine. I describe a moment when I was jolted into awareness of my unconsciously colonial thinking, and was challenged to change. Drawn from my memoir, Meeting My Treaty Kin: A Journey Toward Reconciliation, it nicely illustrates the four As required for reconciliation (Awareness, Acknowledgement, Atonement, Action) that Jody Wilson-Raybould lays out in True Reconciliation. https://lnkd.in/df8seHHT

A Southern Community in Crisis - By Randolph B. Campbell Shop on Legacy of Texas: https://lnkd.in/g-Y8Xm-6 Historians have published countless studies of the American Civil War and following era of Reconstruction. This study differs in its focus on how ordinary people experienced the years from 1861 to 1876. With this in mind, what did secession, civil war, emancipation and Reconstruction mean at the local level in Texas? How much change did the era bring to Harrison County: a cotton-growing, planter-dominated community with the largest slave population of any county in the state?

Testimony before the U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM SUBCOMMITTEE ON CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES Regarding “A Threat to America’s Children: The Trump Administration’s Proposal to Gut Fair Housing Accountability” On January 14, 2020, HUD released a proposed rule redefining how jurisdictions will be expected to comply with the AFFH component of the Fair Housing Act.43 The proposed rule effectively eliminates the AFFH mandate of the Fair Housing Act and discards the equity and opportunity lenses that were key to the 2015 AFFH rule HUD seeks to replace. The proposed rule is premised on the notion that if jurisdictions remove the “barriers” to affordable housing development and let the market operate without constraints, it will solve their affordable housing problems and that, in turn, will solve our fair housing problems. It does not acknowledge systemic discrimination or segregation in any way and it completely ignores the connection between where one lives and the opportunities they may or may not have as a result. It ignores the multitude of disparities that have been created and fostered by persistent segregation or the role that decisions concerning the placement and design of housing and community development investments have on producing them. It has virtually no reference to protected classes and it does not require jurisdictions to provide meaningful explanations for how their housing and community development decisions will address the issues they choose to prioritize. For more information, please see - J. Soto Testimony - 2020.02.05 FINAL (congress.gov) - it is a pretty lengthy reading.... smile This is what folks have to look forward to IF.... https://lnkd.in/g7gZxT6H

Senior Management Analyst, Housing and Homelessness Data and Research Coordinator at Mecklenburg County
On March 8th, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the updated, web-based, Equal Access Assessment Tool (EAAT). The EAAT can play a crucial role in promoting accountability, identifying areas for improvement, and supporting organizations in their efforts to provide inclusive and equitable services to individuals accessing shelter and services in Charlotte-Mecklenburg. This blog provides an overview of the tool, what it assesses, and why it’s important. While mandated for specific HUD funded programs, the EAAT can be used by all organizations providing shelter and services to assess whether their practices and procedures align with legal requirements and best practices for providing equal access to shelter and services. The assessment is an important first step in assessing strengths, identifying opportunities for improvement, and developing action steps to ensure the provision of inclusive and equitable services in Mecklenburg County.
