This panel explores the evolving ways in which specific communities have been marginalized and criminalized by political and social institutions in New York City. Each talk amplifies suppressed voices, reveals the mistreatment of the city’s vulnerable populations, situates our current city within its history, and uncovers solutions to reclaim the city.
