 nch event of Professor Bernadette Atuahene's new book\, PLUNDERED: HOW RAC
 IST POLICIES UNDERMINE BLACK OWNERSHIP IN AMERICA\, at Boswell Book Co. on
  February 20. \n\nProfessor Atuahene will be in conversation with Reggie J
 ackson\, and Community Advocates COO Maudwella Kirkendoll will offer a few
  words on the work Community Advocates is doing with Professor Atuahene on
  the Milwaukee Property Tax Appeals Project.\n\nIn the spirit of 'Evicted\
 ,' Atuahene\, a property law scholar\, uses the story of two grandfathers—
 one white\, one Black—who arrived in Detroit at the turn of the twentieth 
 century to reveal how racist policies weaken Black families\, widen the ra
 cial wealth gap\, and derive profit from pain. \n\nWhen Professor Bernadet
 te Atuahene moved to Detroit\, she planned to study the city’s squatting p
 henomenon. What she accidentally found was too urgent to ignore. Her neigh
 bors\, many of whom had owned their homes for decades\, were losing them t
 o property tax foreclosure\, leaving once bustling Black neighborhoods bli
 ghted with vacant homes.\n \nThrough years of dogged investigation and res
 earch\, Atuahene uncovered a system of predatory governance\, where public
  officials raise public dollars through laws and processes that produce or
  sustain racial inequity—a nationwide practice in no way limited to Detroi
 t.\n \nIn this powerful work of scholarship and storytelling\, Atuahene sh
 ows how predatory governance invites complicity from well-meaning people\,
  eviscerates communities\, and widens the racial wealth gap. By following 
 the lives of two Detroit grandfathers—one Black the other white—and their 
 grandchildren\, Atuahene tells a riveting tale about racist policies\, how
  they take root\, why they flourish\, and who profits.\n\nClick the link b
