The United States must reckon with the racism built into its housing system in order to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to build wealth.

Ali Michael and Mary C. Conger with contributions from Susan Bickerstaff, Katherine CrawfordGarrett, and Ellie Fitts Fulmer, University of Pennsylvania "Navigating aspects of personal identity within American social institutions, such as schools and workplaces, is often challenging and complex. Affinity groups are an effective means through which people can reaffirm and explore aspects of their identity, as well as provide each other guidance and support for interacting with those who might not share, understand, or respect that identity. This article examines ways in which one such affinity group, White Students Confronting Racism (WSCR) at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education, helps white students understand their racial identities and work to become effective anti-racist allies."

The story of Pauli Murray, one of the most pivotal figures in the history of struggle for gender equality and racial justice, is told in the new documentary “My Name Is Pauli Murray,” premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. Murray was a trailblazing Black, nonbinary, queer, feminist poet, lawyer, legal scholar and priest who influenced the likes of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Thurgood Marshall, and is viewed as a hero to many in the trans rights movement. We feature excerpts from “My Name is Pauli Murray,” which features new footage and audio recordings of Murray in their own words, and interviews about Murray with Ginsburg and Bishop Michael Curry, the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, and speak with the filmmaking team behind the documentary, director Betsy West and producer Julie Cohen. We are also joined by Dolores Chandler, a social worker and equity facilitator and trainer in Durham, North Carolina, who is featured in the film and is the former coordinator of the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice. “The fact is most of us were not taught about Pauli Murray,” says Cohen. “This is a person who influenced so many different movements in the U.S.” #DemocracyNow Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on nearly 1,400 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.

Listen. Learn. Lead. To tackle a problem, we must first understand it – and then set about solving it.

To bring about change, we must address the symptoms and the root causes of such inequity, while making investments that bring new opportunity and also preserve the history and culture of a place. This Is Community is a podcast by Purpose Built Communities that explores these issues and more.
