Razing Liberty Square, directed by filmmaker Katja Esson, exposes a new form of racial injustice: climate gentrification.
About this Event

Syracuse University and Cornell University affiliates, in partnership with the Syracuse Tenants Union, present the third screening in a public housing film-and-discussion series. The series sheds light on displacement, gentrification, and systemic housing inequities.

Razing Liberty Square, directed by Academy® and Emmy® Award-nominated filmmaker Katja Esson, exposes climate gentrification. When rising seas threaten Miami’s luxurious beachfront, wealthy developers move inland to higher ground, targeting historically Black neighborhoods. Liberty City, located just 12 feet above sea level, becomes more “desirable” with each rising tide, forcing residents to fight for their homes and their community.

Black Citizens Brigade is in the University Building at 120 E. Washington Street. PLEASE NOTE: the entrance is at 140 Bank Alley, which is on the side of the building. Look for signage + music at the entrance to guide you.

Parking: Metered street parking is available near the shop FREE AFTER 5:00 p.m.
Paid parking lot is located directly across the street (E. Washington) from the venue.
