Transportation and Infrastructure justice is an important element of the movement for reparations, given this country’s history of bisecting and destroying communities of color through the construction of highways, light rail and other transportation systems. Now, generations later, Black urbanists are bringing a reparative lens to urban planning that literally heals the scars of racism in urban cities, undoing decades of structural exclusion. Our guest today is Kristen Jeffers, founder and editor-in-chief of the Black Urbanist, a muti-media platform exploring the urbanist movement. Kristen centers urbanism at the interaction of Black, queer, feminist theory.
