IS THE GHETTO IN EXISTENCE BY DESIGN
Some of you may have seen the Clybourne Park play presented by the Long Wharf Theatre last season and or attended the related community conversations co presented by the Long Wharf Theatre and the New Haven Public Library. I had the pleasure of co moderating the panels with Colin Caplan and Clifton Graves. This immersion really opened my eyes to how public policy impacts the literal and metaphorical design of our lives. Note for example the increased gentrification of New Haven and what that might portend. At any rate this article sheds additional light on benign and overt intentions in the past to structure the monopoly board of life. To consider and act upon what a Great New Haven looks like now and in the future requires our proactive and honest diligence. http://tomficklin.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-ghetto-is-public-policy-...

What Does Dr. MLK, Jr. Mean to You?
Each month, we pose a question to the OneLISC family, and share the responses reflecting our diverse range of voices and backgrounds. To mark Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 92nd birthday, this month’s Reflections from the Field consider his life and work and his legacy today. The reflections register anger and dismay and exhaustion, but also hope, power and a commitment to keep working, to keep exerting good, strong pressure to shape our moral universe.In a Time of Crisis, Business Development Organizations Step Up

LISC BDO partners link their on-the-ground networks and insight with LISC’s national scale, funding and expertise to support small businesses, in the midst of COVID, and for the future.Fay Darmawi: In Her Own Words
