Rethinking the American Dream: Housing for All

Housing justice isn't just about where we live—it's about power, equity, and the future of our communities. In this episode, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Hughes-Rogers Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University, and Majora Carter , real estate developer, urban revitalization strategist, and MacArthur Fellow, examine the systemic racism baked into housing policies and the economic forces that shape our neighborhoods. Taylor underscores the need for grassroots activism, while Carter shares her work on reversing the brain drain in low-status communities like the South Bronx. Together, they push for a fundamental shift in how we think about housing, development, and opportunity.
