35] – On
Wed., Aug. 29 from 6:30 to 8 PM, catch the book talk with author Barbara Brown
Wilson who will discuss her book “Resilience for All” at Busboys and Poets
Books, 1025 5th St. NW, WDC 20001. In many vulnerable neighborhoods,
structural racism and classism prevent residents from having a seat at the
table when decisions are made about their community. In an effort to overcome
power imbalances and ensure local knowledge informs decision-making, a new
approach to community engagement is essential. Wilson provides the tools and
inspiration needed to do so, and charts a path forward that is driven by social
equity, vibrancy, and hope. This event will highlight how community-driven
design projects in underserved communities can not only change the built world,
but also provide opportunities for residents to build their own
capacities. Visit www.islandpress.org
