Please join us at the San Antonio Area Foundation for a presentation on:
The Roots of Economic Segregation and Social [Im]Mobility
in San Antonio
Presented by Dr. Christine Drennon, Trinity University
What:
San Antonio has recently been identified as the most economically segregated city in the country, and some neighborhoods have been overwhelmingly poor for multiple generations. Despite years of effort, it seems we have not been very successful at alleviating this situation. Knowledge of the processes that produced the current situation and landscape may allow us to better understand the root causes of segregation, and thus begin to formulate policy that addresses root cause.
