Atuahene will share her new book Plundered: How Racist Policies Undermine Black Homeownership in America, in which she tells a riveting, braided tale about racist policies, how they take root, why they advance and flourish and who profits.

During the conversation, she and Bailey will dive into some of the most pressing issues facing Detroit today. They’ll explore housing affordability, racialized property tax administration and the ongoing legacy of racist policies.

This candid and thought-provoking discussion promises to challenge your thinking and inspire meaningful conversation. Come ready to engage, ask questions and leave with a deeper understanding of how racist policies shape communities.

Refreshments will be provided, and the cost of general admission includes a copy of Plundered!
