  • First Church of the Brethren 425 South Central Park Boulevard Chicago, IL, 60624 United States (map)

Given Chicago's contested relationship with Black people on the South and West Sides of the city, the evening places Meida McNeal's seminal work, Fifth City Revisited in conversation with the new book manuscript by David Stovall Engineered Conflict: Structural Violence and the Future of Black Life in Chicago. As the two creators discuss the connections between both works, audience members will bear witness to an unflinching conversation on gentrification, education and resistance.
