Multicultural Issues/Indigenous People
Turning Point (Restorative Listening Project #5) After several years focusing on the effects of gentrification in Portland, the "Restorative Listening Project" took a look at whether the ongoing forums to bring the concerns of the African American community to the white population moving into traditionally black neighborhoods were still effective. Here, RLP co-chair John Canda reflects on the past, present and future. The full program (VB #78.2&3) is available for a donation of $11 (DVD/VHS) plus $4 postage.
