Good Reads!
EBPREC met Carl Anthony, the founder and former Executive Director of Urban Habitat, an organization with real vision for this work, at the State of the Region conference and had a chance to connect from the heart, for a good 45 min! About his memoir, The Earth, the City, and the Hidden Narrative of Race, Carl Anthony shares:
As a youth I longed for a new story about race and place in America. My lifetime search yielded discoveries of ways to heal the wounds of racism, build equity, and bring people together to protect and restore our shared environments.
<What the Director is Reading> African Anarchism: The History of a Movement, by Sam Mbah & I.E. Igariwey, on the necessity to rethink our rethinking. We can look to various forms of governance and power distribution for our freedom.
We look forward to seeing you at the launch party or connecting with you soon about the member launch!
