- Class Description:
- Minneapolis and St. Paul and our surrounding suburbs and exurbs are places that, like most in America, reflect a history of policy making that exacerbated rather than ameliorated the challenges faced by poor people of color. Policies which subsidized white flight from certain communities and restricted low-income people and people of color's access to others. Because race played such a distinct role in shaping our neighborhoods and region, it must continue to be a central consideration for our community development efforts. This capstone will be partnering with community-based organizations or city departments rooted in communities of color and low-income communities in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Using the lens of racial, social and economic equity, students will be working with the clients who are working to transform high-poverty communities into high-opportunity communities. pPlaces that provide all the resources people need to thrive, including employment, job training, good schools,safe streets, parks, healthy food retailers, transportation, and affordable high-quality housing.
