  • サマリー

  • This Great and Complicated Place stands to elevate the way communities of faith contribute to conversations about race and equity by exploring, honestly and compellingly, the historical design of American cities and urban centers and their impact on urban life. By inviting the voices of expert historians, economists, urban planners, faith and non-profit leaders, and—perhaps most importantly—neighbors, we intend to do more than just emphasize the design shortcomings of our cities and neighborhoods. We also want to highlight how faith communities are uniquely positioned to guide us towards more beautifully designed communities.

  • Equity or Illusion: Is Education Really the Great Equalizer?
    2025/04/02
    Education is often framed as the great equalizer, but history tells a different story. From the lasting impact of segregation to disparities in funding, access, and opportunity, our schools reflect deeper societal injustices. In this episode, we explore the connection between healthy schools and healthy communities, the historical roots of educational inequity, and the moral responsibility we all share in shaping a just system. Through compelling insights from experts and thought leaders, we ask, Who bears the responsibility for justice? And more importantly, who are we willing to stop for? Key Themes: • The historical role of race in shaping educational inequities • The lingering effects of segregation on today’s schools • Education as a key factor in community stability and economic opportunity • The moral and social responsibility of addressing injustice • The Good Samaritan as a lens for reimagining who we consider “our own” Featured Voices: Jemar Tisby, PhD – Historian, author, and speaker on race and justice Dr. Massie – Educator and advocate for equitable school systems Ways to Get Involved: Learn More – Dive deeper into today’s discussion with recommended books, articles, and documentaries (see links below).
