Housing Justice Lab’s Associate Director Mia Charlene White led one of the teach-ins organized for Juneteenth 2020 at The New School by the Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice. She engaged participants with a discussion of Black Land histories centering on African American efforts to cooperatively resist post-emancipation tactics of control and oppression. White provided participants with a lens through which to reassemble Black history with an ongoing project of agrarian and urban transformation.
