Long Island's History of Housing Segregation and Racial EqualityWith 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.
Tim Keogh is an Assistant Professor in History at Queensborough Community College of the City University of New York. He is the author of In Levittown's Shadow: Poverty in America's Wealthiest Postwar Suburb, which is a Publisher's Weekly Best Book of 2023 and winner of the Dixon Ryan Fox Prize for New York History. He has published in The New Republic, Nonsite, the Journal of Urban History, and the Journal of Planning Education and Research, among others. He was born on Long Island, where he currently lives with his wife and children. $45 Members; $50 Non-Members Price includes gourmet two-course meal and dessert. Cash bar available. |

With Marsha Tyson Darling, Ph.D.
