Join Urban Campesinos youth leaders at the teach-in on gentrification on Saturday, April 30, 2016 at City College of San Francisco Mission Campus.
The teach-in is part of a program by Groundswell, a program of City College of San Francisco’s Interdisciplinary Department.
The program includes an exhibit, “Race and Place: Architectures of Segregation and Liberation (AoS/AoL),” installed in the main lobby of the City College of San Francisco Mission Campus.
AoS/AoL examines 500 years of spatial injustice in the area between Canada and Mexico, known now as the United States mainland.
Through photographs, artifacts, and literary text, the exhibition addresses conquest, slavery, incarceration, legal restrictions, public and private practices, and economic inequities that have enforced racial segregation.
AoS/AoL also documents ongoing resistance, which has included multiple strategies: armed struggle and escape; protest and direct action; grassroots organizing and legal action; cultural work and cultural preservation.
The special program also includes a lecture by USF journalism professor Teresa Moore on civil rights activist and journalist Ethel Payne on Thursday, March 24; 2-3 p.m., Room 106.
