- **Event Name**: Angela Simms with Lawrence Brown: FIGHTING FOR A FOOTHOLD
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: About this EventJoin us for a conversation with scholar Angela Simms about her groundbreaking new book, Fighting for a Foothold: How Government and Markets Undermine Black Middle-Class Suburbia! It tells the story of Prince George’s County, Maryland, home to the highest concentration of Black middle-class residents in the United States, and reveals how race, class, and local jurisdiction boundaries in metropolitan areas interact to create different material living conditions for Americans.In the words of Andre M. Perry: "Prince George’s County is a Wakanda of sorts. Its majority-Black residents enjoy higher incomes, stronger homeownership, and longer life expectancy than residents in many places—indeed, more than those in many non-Black-majority areas... Angela Simms’s rigorous work shows, however, that as remarkable as PG County is, it could be even better in a world without racism. Fighting for a Foothold invites readers from all places to remove the drags of racism that throttle growth that would otherwise occur."We're so excited that Lawrence T. Brown, author of The Black Butterfly: The Harmful Politics of Race and Space in America, will join Angela Simms in conversation. We hope you will join us, too.Books will be available for sale at the event.Angela Simms is Assistant Professor of Sociology and Urban Studies at Barnard College-Columbia University.
