SPECIAL MEETING: Continuing the Conversation on Race, a presentation by Stephen Menendian

If you attended the Conversation on Race with Congressman Mark DeSaulnier in April...

You heard Stephen Menendian, Assistant Director and Director of Research at the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society, talk about Residential Racial Segregation in the SF Bay Area.

You saw him present his jaw-dropping slides.  

He had only a few minutes then, but now he'll have more time to present the full Haas Report and answer our questions.

From The Haas Report:

"Segregation is one of our nation’s most enduring and intractable problems. More than 60 years since the Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision denounced racial segregation in primary and secondary public schools, and 50 years since the enactment of the federal Fair Housing Act, our neighborhoods and schools have yet to reflect the rich diversity of our nation as a whole. Given the seriousness of the problem of racial segregation as a cause of racial inequality and the complexities in understanding the nature of this problem, the Haas Institute is launching a series of briefs that will attempt to illuminate these patterns and demystify the reality of segregation in the San Francisco Bay Area."
