In recognition of Martin Luther King, Jr., today’s Race + Power newsletter focuses on the struggles for equality for all. We begin with an interview from Nonprofit Quarterly Magazine’s fall 2023 issue about how Atlanta, a city central to the Civil Rights movement, used to be in a forest, and how the #StopCopCity movement is fighting to bring back the trees. Next, an early look at the title article from the new winter issue of the Nonprofit Quarterly Magazine, “Love as Social Order.” Then, we explore the overrepresentation of people of color in prisons in the last 50 years and potential remedies for this disparity. Part of the solution: building an economy that nurtures Black people by building an ecosystem that invests in and supports Black people throughout the US South.
