Join the Somerville Public Library during Fair Housing Month to discuss our past and the future of our city’s housing with the Somerville Fair Housing Commission and members of your own community.
Refreshments will be provided. Screening of the film will begin around 7:15 PM.
We will be screening the short film Segregated by Design, followed by a conversation around fair housing and discrimination in Somerville with representatives from City departments and commissions, and members of the Somerville community. We will cover themes and topics the film examines, as well as additional topics covered in Richard Rothstein's book, The Color of Law, and how these subjects impact us locally.
