Beyond the Divide: Housing Solutions from the Left and Right

FRANK DISCUSSION.

DIVERSE VIEWS.

SOLUTIONS THAT CAN MOVE US FORWARD.

In our continued learning series that seeks to bridge divides and build solutions, and in partnership with American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and Brookings Institution, two senior fellows from these influential think tanks will discuss the current state of housing across the nation, the differing views on addressing it, and how we can navigate the diverse narratives surrounding one of society’s most pressing issues.

A nationally known and respected commentator on race, structural inequality, and education, Perry is the author of “Black Power Scorecard: Measuring the Racial Gap and What We Can Do to Close It” and “Know Your Price: Valuing Black Lives and Property in America’s Black Cities.” Perry is a regular contributor to MSNBC and has been published by and made appearances on numerous national media outlets. Perry’s research focuses on race and structural inequality, education, and economic inclusion.
