“Where the Hood At? Fifty Years of Change in Black Neighborhoods”
Open to Everyone
Although data reveals significant disparities in quality-of-life indicators between Black and white Americans, research also shows that a person’s neighborhood can profoundly influence their life outcomes.
Michael C. Lens, a professor of urban planning and public policy at UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs, will discuss Where the Hood At? Fifty Years of Change in Black Neighborhoods, a comprehensive look at the evolution of Black neighborhoods over the past five decades that helps us better understand why some predominantly Black neighborhoods have flourished while others have not.
