Talks at the Schomburg: Talks at the Schomburg: Rethinking Ferguson Through the Prism of Suburbia

Leading scholars, journalists and activists will discuss the impact of geography on racial dynamics in America. Perceptions of "suburbia" have been challenged recently as suburbs such as Ferguson, Missouri, have become sites of major policing controversies that have resulted in community uprisings.
