About This Event
Dr. Rhana Gittens Wheeler explores Atlanta’s Black cultural displacement, heritage preservation, and inclusive city planning.
Join Dr. Rhana Gittens Wheeler, professor at Oglethorpe University, as she explores the cultural displacement currently facing Atlanta's Black community due to gentrification. This presentation will cover the tensions between Atlanta's rich legacy as a center of Black political and economic power, and the reality of the cultural erasure of historically Black neighborhoods. By amplifying the voices of those striving to preserve their heritage and assert their belonging, Dr. Wheeler encourages everyone to consider the effects of cultural gentrification and explore ways to foster a more inclusive Atlanta for all.
