Arc of Justice: The power of community-owned land from the Civil Rights Era to today

Bainbridge Island Museum of Art 550 Winslow Way E, Bainbridge Island, WA, United States

The first community land trust was born in Albany, GA, during the Civil Rights Movement to provide economic security to tenant farmers and sharecroppers who were being forced off the land when they registered to vote. Today there are over 300 in the US, including one taking shape in Tacoma right now to protect this historically Black community from the impacts of gentrification.
