We'd love to see you at the Greenpoint Library on Thursday for a conversation with Majora Carter, author of Reclaiming Your Community. The event is free but registration is required. Books will be available to purchase on-site. About Reclaiming Your Community: There is an alternative to programs that simply ameliorate poverty without building wealth or counteracting the effects of displacement and cultural erasure through gentrification. What Majora Carter proposes in this inspiring and eye-opening book is a talent retention community development strategy. Low-status communities have never had a shortage of successful people emerging from them. What they have had is a shortage of successful people staying. Carter focuses on retaining homegrown talent to create a robust, economically diverse ecosystem. #BrooklynPublicLibrary #MajoraCarter
