Join us as we delve into the book Built from the Fire through a panel discussion with author Victor Luckerson and Georgia Tech faculty members Todd Michney and Elora Raymond. Michney is an Associate Professor in the School of History and Sociology, and Raymond is an Assistant Professor in the School of City and Regional Planning. The panel will be moderated by Charles Easley, Professor of Practice in the Scheller College of Business. The book follows a multigenerational saga of a family and a community in Tulsa’s Greenwood district, known as “Black Wall Street,” that in one century survived the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, urban renewal, and gentrification.
Hosted by the Ray C. Anderson Center for Sustainable Business and the Scheller College DE&I Council Book Discussion Group. Co-sponsored by Georgia Tech Net Impact, Blacks in Business, and Institute for Leadership & Social Impact.
Books will be available for purchase. A book signing will follow the conversation.
