KTM&HC's Revolutionary Perspectives series continues this April - National Fair Housing Month - with a free film screening and discussion about the historical context and present-day impacts of Connecticut's housing crisis.
The evening begins with a screening of CT Public's Fighting for Home: How Housing Policy Keeps Connecticut Segregated. The hour-long special, which originally aired in June 2024, explores how the legacy of exclusionary zoning and redlining imposed a painful divide we see today in our state’s current housing crisis. From CT Public: "Our towns and cities are segregated by race and class because of systemic barriers that have persisted over time. Witness the struggle and determination of those fighting for change."
The film will be followed by a dynamic conversation between Melissa Kaplan-Macey, the chief initiative officer for the Centers for Housing Opportunity and Rashida Rattray-Reid, education and outreach coordinator at the Connecticut Fair Housing Center.
KTM&HC's Revolutionary Perspectives series celebrates innovative approaches to how we discover, interpret, and share American history, with an emphasis on themes of memory and identity. The series is supported by a grant from the Wadsworth R. Lewis Fund. Thank you!
