The deliberate devaluation of Black communities has had very real, far-reaching, and negative economic and social effects. In his new book, Know Your Price: Valuing Black Lives and Property in America’s Black Cities, noted educator, journalist & scholar Dr. Andre M. Perry takes readers on a tour of six Black majority cities, including Detroit, whose assets and strengths are undervalued — and provides a new means of determining value.
Join us for a virtual conversation with Dr. Perry, a fellow in the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings Institution, hosted by Orlando P. Bailey of BridgeDetroit and Urban Consulate with Detroit guests:
Anika Goss, Detroit Future City
