PRRAC Update (December 18, 2014): Public housing demolition, NYC schools

December 18, 2014 by

New rules on public housing demolition:  HUD has issued a proposed rule tightening up the standards for public housing agencies that seek to demolish, sell, or change the use of public housing.  We were pleased with the rule's strong emphasis on civil rights review of any proposals, and requirements for housing mobility counseling in agency relocation plans.  But we also … [Read more...] about PRRAC Update (December 18, 2014): Public housing demolition, NYC schools

“Post-Durban Implications for the US Civil Rights Agenda” by john powell (January-February 2002 P&R Issue)

February 1, 2002 by

By john powell (Click here to view the entire P&R issue) There are many ways to think about the importance of the UN WCAR and the impact it will have on the United States and the world. To make a clear assessment of the conference will take time. It will also depend on the work we do and events that unfold. Although the WCAR was preceded by 50 years of UN activity on … [Read more...] about “Post-Durban Implications for the US Civil Rights Agenda” by john powell (January-February 2002 P&R Issue)

“Unillusioned” by S.M. Miller (January-February 2000 P&R Issue)

February 1, 2000 by

By S.M. Miller (Click here to view the entire P&R issue) How one evaluates the last four decades largely depends on one’s expectations. My outlook in the ‘60’s was that an untroubled, clear, upward progression to real, full integration of African Americans would not occur. “Cost-free liberalism” was the somewhat caustic term that I applied to the liberal confidence that … [Read more...] about “Unillusioned” by S.M.

“The Gautreaux Experience” by James E. Rosenbaum (January-February 2000 P&R Issue)

February 1, 2000 by

By James E. Rosenbaum (Click here to view the entire P&R issue) I am puzzled by those who focus on white attitudes as the lever for changing black disadvantage. Attitudes are a particularly ineffective lever for change. We don’t know how to change people’s attitudes, and attitude change doesn’t always change material circumstances. However, sometimes we manage to change … [Read more...] about “The Gautreaux Experience” by James E. Rosenbaum (January-February 2000 P&R Issue)

PRRAC – Poverty & Race Research Action Council

The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) is a civil rights law and policy organization based in Washington, D.C. Our mission is to promote research-based advocacy strategies to address structural inequality and disrupt the systems that disadvantage low-income people of color.
