Gentrification in Kingsessing

Wed, February 24, 2021 6:00 P.M.
Virtual

The Last Black Man in San Francisco shows how gentrification displaces Black communities and harms Black individuals. The movie can be streamed free on Kanopy with a library card. Watch it at your leisure and then join a special meeting of the ongoing “Gentrification in Kingsessing” series to discuss the movie and how it relates to the world around us in Philadelphia.

This discussion will be held virtually on Zoom. A link to join the discussion will be sent to all registrants the day of the event.
