E8: (Re)Building from the Ground Up

• What is home?
• How do you decide where to make your home?
• Should you move to build collective political power?

These were some of the questions we explored as we referenced a New York Times op-ed piece by Charles Blow that encouraged Black Americans to move to the South. As we discussed the opportunities, we also challenged our assumptions - and his - around where we are as a community, where we could be collectively, and what the risks are. Karleen Porcena also joined us to share insights from her travels and research of southern towns being built from scratch by new Black landowners.
