[NEW EPISODE] Leveling the Playing Field

Thursdays 11:00am - 12:00pm (EDT)

WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?

To learn about the racial disparities that exists and ways to promote economic development and investments in communities of color.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In 1865, formerly enslaved people of African descent were promised 40 acres of land as reparation. It never happened. In 1921, Black Wall Street located in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma was one of the wealthiest black communities in the United States until it was burned down by a mob of white people. In 1923, the predominantly black vibrant town of Rosewood, Florida was burned down by a group of whites. 

Today, many communities of color are economically depressed with inadequate access to basic needs (e.g., housing, healthy options for food, employment, etc.). Erik Clemons, co-founder of Connecticut Community Outreach and Revitalization Program (ConnCORP) is committed to changing this narrative in the city of New Haven, CT. Join Rev. Dr. TLC as she sits down with him to uncover how his organization is combating racial economic disparities and creating opportunities for people of color to thrive financially, socially, and otherwise.
