Observing an Anniversary: The 400 Years of Inequality Project.

The 400 Years of Inequality Project was launched in 2016 by five partner organizations: the University of Orange, a people's university in Orange, New Jersey;the New School and Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, both in New York City;ONE DC, a Washington, DC-based organization working to advance racial and economic equity;and, Voices of a People's History, a not-for-profit organization located in Brooklyn, New York, that increases awareness of US history through public readings of historical speeches and other texts. AtTulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, faculty, students, and community representatives discussed concerns related to mass incarceration. The School of Public Health at Boston University hosted a symposium on racism in housing and education, exhibited the 400 Years of Inequality Timeline in its Activist Lab (a venue for developing innovative ways to dismantle the injustices that produce and sustain inequities), and convened storytelling sessions on the topic of inequality with artist-in-residence RhodessaJones.
