This week’s Race + Power newsletter looks at the ways narratives can be reclaimed to shape a better future. First, how the Monuments Project is reshaping what statues, landmarks, and other monuments mean to America. Next, how a history of intense scrutiny of Muslim women overshadows their own narratives of leadership. Then, from NPQ’s series “Community-Driven Philanthropy,” we revisit the importance of recentering narratives to build lasting cultural power. Finally, on Thursday, September 21st, four authors from NPQ’s summer economic justice magazine come together to explore the concept of movement economies.
