This book is about more than roads. It’s about the choices we’ve made — and the communities we’ve harmed— in the name of progress. It’s about what happens when infrastructure becomes a tool of oppression. And it’s about what we can do to change it. Tuesday, April 15th.

I had a great time with the amazing students, faculty, and staff at the Rochester Institute for Technology for their MLK commemoration. We had a far reaching conversation about the current threats to our democracy and the infrastructure of civil rights.

We are ready to fight this administration’s promised anti-civil liberties and anti-civil rights agenda.

Hate crimes and racially-motivated violence surged under the first Trump administration. The day of the election I got a voicemail saying my “n****r house” was going to burn. This is just the beginning.
