The C.O.W.S. The U.S. Highways Are Structures of White Supremacy (Good White People?)

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Sarah Jo Peterson, PhD, Dr. Tierra Billls, and Dr. Amanda Phillips de Lucas. An independent transportation consultant and author, Peterson explores the history of and development of the U.S. highway system. Peterson wrote the books The Transportation Research Board and Planning the Home Front. We'll discuss her more recent project which is a series of reports which examine the deliberate way Whites have used U.S. highways to obliterate areas where black people are allowed to live, work, and attempt to operate businesses. Dr. Bliss and Dr. de Lucas also wrote on this topic, addressing road construction and Racism in Minnesota and Maryland respectively. Dr. Bliss describes how this trauma is personal to her family, where members were displaced with the construction of highways in Michigan. Similar to when White Terrorist violence or weaponized property taxes were used to loot property from black people, U.S. highways were also strategically implemented to dispossess black people. #WhitePeopleCannotBeIgnorantAboutRacism INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#
