Workshop Explores Indigenous History in Canada March 22

In Altadena, California, rebuilding efforts are underway following wildfires that devastated a predominantly Black neighborhood, highlighting the importance of preserving Black history amid ongoing urban changes. This situation mirrors the historical significance of Tulsa's Greenwood District, which thrived in the early 1900s with numerous Black-owned businesses before being destroyed in the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, a tragedy that erased generations of wealth and opportunity. As cities like Evanston and Asheville explore reparations initiatives, the legacy of such violence continues to impact discussions around racial equity and community resilience. The stories from both Altadena and Greenwood emphasize the resilience of Black communities in the face of systemic challenges and the necessity of remembering their histories as part of broader reconciliation efforts.
