Big Conversation (in Person @ Middleham & St. Peters)

Racial Wealth Gap: Rooted in Land and Home Ownership

Join us, in-person, to hear a panel of experts address the racial wealth gap in Southern Maryland. Learn how it impacts all of our lives. How does land and home ownership play a role? How did the gap start, what are the issues today, and how do our local systems and policies perpetuate it? How does the wealth gap affect the individual and communities? What can we do about it?

Following the panel presentation, participants will break into small facilitated groups. They will share what they learned, discuss the causes and the impact of the wealth gap on individuals and their families, and discover solutions for how our community can better address home and land ownership in Southern Maryland.

The forum is brought to you by The Big Conversation Partners in Dismantling Racism and Privilege in Southern Maryland.
