Sheryll Cashin, a law professor and former White House staffer, has spent nearly three decades grappling with US residential segregation and resulting racial inequality. Her most recent book, “White Space, Black Hood: Opportunity Hoarding and Segregation in the Age of Inequality” reflects these decades of examination and analysis.
She recently was featured in an CNN.com analysis of affluent, majority-white Buckhead seeking to secede from Atlanta. At the invitation of Chairwoman Maxine Waters, she will be testifying on residential exclusion and what to do about it Fri, Oct 15. We talk with her on the next Port of Harlem Talk Radio.
