Forum on Segregation in New Jersey
50 years after the Kerner Commission Report, the Passage of the Fair Housing Act and the death of Dr. King, we will examine the reality of racial segregation in New Jersey today and look at the problems and opportunities we face with national experts and local leaders.
Myron Orfield, author of Metropolitics and Douglas Massey, co-author of American Apartheid and a panel of local leaders will present on opportunities in New Jersey to advance a racial inclusion and economic opportunity agenda. Orfield will provide new demographic data on schools and housing along with political data that will help frame this discussion.
