In Levittown's Shadow: Poverty in America's Wealthiest Postwar SuburbWith Author Tim Keogh, Ph.D.
January 18th, 2024 Harbor Mist Restaurant, Cold Spring Harbor 12 - 2 PM Every year, Long Island's segregated suburbs make national headlines. In 2019, Newsday won awards for exploring ongoing racial discrimination and segregation in Long Island's housing market. Just last year New York's Attorney General highlighted the racial gaps in homeownership on Long Island. What created this enduring inequality, and more importantly, why did it happen? Tim Keogh will draw excerpts from his book, In Levittown's Shadow, to explore the role of the federal government, and private real estate actors, in making Long Island's suburbs unequal—and what we can do about it.
$45 Members; $50 Non-Members Price includes gourmet two-course meal and dessert. Cash bar available. |
