WORKSHOP - #HackingGentrification: Imagine Africatown and the Future of the African American Community In Seattle

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

The story of Africans in America has been one of resilience, creativity, reinvention and accomplishment in the face of tremendous obstacles. This workshop will highlight some of the amazing work being done to harness and build upon this legacy in the face of rapid displacement in the Central District.
