Exhibit Opening Reception: Uneven Ground: The Foundations of Housing Inequality in Durham, NC

Exhibit Opening Nov. 3
Friday, November 03, 2017
4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Bull City 150

Join the Bull City 150 Project team for an opening reception for the exhibit "Uneven Ground: The Foundations of Housing Inequality in Durham, NC" in room 153 of Rubenstein Hall at the Sanford School of Public Policy. The Reception, sponsored by the Sanford Committee on Diversity and Inclusion, will also feature a panel of the faculty and staff who created the exhibit.

Uneven Ground is a traveling public exhibition that traces the historical roots of current-day land and housing inequality in Durham. The historical narratives that shape Uneven Ground are drawn from original archival research and mapping data, local oral histories and sound recordings, and dozens of books, reports, newspapers, dissertations, and theses.

Utilizing the exhibit, Bull City 150 intends to go beyond providing historical information and analysis, toward provoking dialogue among Durhamites about the problems facing our city. These problems include gentrification, displacement, soaring eviction numbers, and poor housing conditions in private and public housing.

Be a part of the conversation and join us on Friday, Nov. 3rd from 4 - 6 p.m.
