THE JED CAST - SEASON TWO EPISODE TEN: Writing the Book on Laws that Stop People of Color from Moving. A Dialogue with Charles T. Brown, CEO of Equitable Cities
Seemingly benign laws and policies deny black people and other people of color the right to move or simply exist in a public space. Adjunct professor and CEO of Equitable Cities, Charles T. Brown has done more than just study this. He wrote the book on it. As the author of Arrested Mobility, he examines how the Three P’s: Policy, Polity, and Policing all work together to limit the physical mobility of black people directly along with limiting their social and upwards mobility indirectly. By tracking the way black bodies are arrested, Charles shows the inequity in planning, the racist land use in zoning practices, and the bias in infrastructure. It’s a hard look at how laws that are just a mere irritant for some can be used to hold an entire society back. Fortunately for us, Charles T. Brown holds nothing back on this episode of The Jed Cast!
