Public opinion about Birmingham’s redevelopment has shifted from one of outright support to the acknowledgement that it is uneven.
A panel of experts will explore alternatives to gentrification; specifically, the cooperative economy and ongoing projects in the region and from around the world.
Panelists include Randall Woodfin, Board Member of Birmingham Board of Education; Myeisha Hutchinson, Oak Ridge Park Neighborhood President; Susan Diane Mitchell, President of Dynamite Hill-Smithfield Community Land Trust; Dr. Zac Henson, professor-owner at The Cooperative New School; and Samir Rohlin Hazboun, Highlander Research and Education Center. Moderated by Reverend Majadi Baruti of Udja Temple Ministries.
