Black Homeownership Matters is an immersive exhibit created by Habitat for Humanity International as a demonstration of a comprehensive strategy for advancing black homeownership and closing the gaps of inequity.
The presentation of CT Public's Fighting for Home will be shown at 7:00 pm. This eye-opening one-hour documentary delves deep
into the history of housing discrimination in the state. By tracing prejudice back before the nation was a country, and highlighting the period of the 1920s when state law was enacted to empower local governments to create exclusionary zoning laws, we see how Black and Brown residents have effectively been excluded from certain neighborhoods, towns and cities.
Following the screening, we will engage a dynamic panel in a discussion about the night's events, the topics presented, and how it all refelcts and effects our local communities. Panelists will be announced soon.
Tickets for this screening are FREE.
