Join us for a conversation with scholar Angela Simms about her groundbreaking new book, Fighting for a Foothold: How Government and Markets Undermine Black Middle-Class Suburbia! It tells the story of Prince George’s County, Maryland, home to the highest concentration of Black middle-class residents in the United States, and reveals how race, class, and local jurisdiction boundaries in metropolitan areas interact to create different material living conditions for Americans.We’re so excited that Lawrence T. Brown, author of The Black Butterfly: The Harmful Politics of Race and Space in America, will join Angela Simms in conversation. We hope you will join us, too.
