A Reckoning in Boston: Facing Racial and Economic Inequalities in Cities

A Reckoning in Boston takes a deep look at privilege and racist structures, with a particular focus on the availability of affordable housing as it relates to mental health. The award-winning documentary also addresses activism, social entrepreneurship, community investment, educational opportunities, urban farming and more. 

 

This in-person event will take place at Brennan Library, Rosen Auditorium, Lasell University, 80A Maple Street, Auburndale MA 02466.
