Rental Partner: Homestead Community Land Trust presents
With Marcus Harrison Green
If you have questions about this event, please contact Homestead Community Land Trust directly at or leah@homesteadclt.org.
Isabel Wilkerson is the author of the critically acclaimed, New York Times bestsellers The Warmth of Other Suns, and Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. Proceeds will support Homestead’s work to create housing justice in King County. Wilkerson won the Pulitzer Prize for her deeply humane narrative writing while serving as Chicago Bureau Chief of The New York Times in 1994, making her the first black woman in the history of American journalism to win a Pulitzer Prize and the first African American to win for individual reporting. In 2016, President Barack Obama awarded Wilkerson the National Humanities Medal for “championing the stories of an unsung history.”
Ms. Wilkerson will join Marcus Harrison Green, publisher of the South Seattle Emerald and columnist for the Seattle Times, in a thought-provoking discussion about these critical issues.
This event is part of a series exploring the disparities in homeownership access and the resilient people and work to change these disparities. Kathleen Hosfeld, our CEO and Executive Director, emphasizes, “Ms. Wilkerson’s work opens our awareness to the social ‘operating system’ based on hierarchy, largely undetected in our culture. This conversation will bring these themes home to our communities and discuss the experiences of those who have sought to overcome and rewrite the operating system.”
