Reunion T-Shirts for the Cole-Brown 2016 Reunion in St. Louis
Reunion T-Shirts for the Cole-Brown 2016 Reunion in St. Louis
For our reunion (the first one ever for the Cole-Brown family), no one wanted to do shirts for everyone, so we decided to have each branch design and print their own shirts. Well here's how things ended up: The shirt design has the skyline of the host city on the front of the shirt, and the back is a sepia tone photo of my parents and a descendants chart, along with a QR code to our family website. Originally we wanted to have a photo of my mother and her five sisters on the front of the shirt, but unfortunately, the only photo we have is not in good enough shape to reproduce on a shirt (preserve your photos...), so we went with the St. Louis skyline.

The Meaning of Blight: A word that was originally about plant diseases became “infused with racial and ethnic prejudice” when it moved to the city.
The Meaning of Blight: A word that was originally about plant diseases became “infused with racial and ethnic prejudice” when it moved to the city.
New York City urban planner Justin Garrett Moore stated in a 2015 essay, we now need a new word for blight. Wrote Moore: The violence of urban renewal (versions 1.0, 2.0 and now 3.0 beta) used this terminology of disease to describe a place and its people to justify the use of constitutional police power “the betterment of the health, safety, morals” to take property and wealth, remove people, and to literally destroy places.

Justin was interviewed by Wired. The project Justin mentioned, Hunter's Point, was one of his first big projects. I recall having a drawing of it posted in my office, and so many people thought it was a project in Indy; I had to tell them nope, it's in NYC.

When I turned 40, I acquired a painting by South Bronx, New York–based artist Alteronce Gumby titled Their Eyes Were Watching God. It references the novel of the same name by Harlem Renaissance author Zora Neale Hurston, which captures African-American life in segregated 1920s America and culminates in a social, environmental, and public health disaster.

Now, as I work from home, society faces a pandemic, protests, and poverty. On the wall of my Harlem apartment, Gumby’s painting has become a literal and figurative backdrop to my work on social and environmental equity. In Zoom meetings, people remark on its iridescence and curious patterns. Its shattered glass, grout, acrylic, and wood are materials latent with the subjectivity of broken-windows policing, embodied labor, energy, and carbon, and the effort it takes to make whole and beautiful something that is smashed, imperfect, and real. Online, people can’t see the painting’s blues lose color from certain perspectives—like a morpho butterfly—or that, as I work late into the night, it almost appears black, like me.

Why America needs black-owned banks:  Justin Garrett Moore was among those who heeded the call after receiving multiple texts from friends about #BankBlack in July.
Why America needs black-owned banks: Justin Garrett Moore was among those who heeded the call after receiving multiple texts from friends about #BankBlack in July.
Feeling he had to act, the New York urban planner opened savings accounts at two banks, Liberty and OneUnited, that are majority-owned by African-Americans. He first withdrew $1,000 from his account at a national bank and deposited half in each account. Over a few months, he gradually transferred a total of about $12,000 to the black banks. He later closed his account at the national bank and started spending time urging others to join the #BankBlack campaign.

TNG is a self-hosting alternative. TNG software costs $33 and you can expect to pay $15 every other year or so, to upgrade to get the newest features. In the self-hosting world, you will need to pick a domain name, and pay for it (anywhere from $6 to $50 per year), additionally, you will need to pay an internet service provider (ISP) to host your site. Typically, this hosting will include several email accounts, storage space, databases, and in some cases the ability to sell items online. The charge to host a site can range from $5 to $15 per month ($60 – $180 per year).

Will black Millennials save black banks?
Will black Millennials save black banks?
Worried that black residents were getting priced out of Mapleton Fall Creek, a quickly gentrifying neighborhood on the city's north side, Mr. Moore sought to buy and renovate neglected homes there. He wanted to rent them out for half of market value to lower-income families. But even as white families snatched up Mapleton’s foreclosed Tudor and Colonial Revival homes, Moore, who is African-American, couldn’t get a mortgage from local banks. Black residents who already owned homes in Mapleton couldn’t get loans to fix them up, either, he says.
