Black Utopias: Aaron Robertson in Conversation with Stacey Sutton

On the occasion of the publication of The Black Utopians: Searching for Paradise and the Promised Land in America, author Aaron Robertson joined urban planning scholar Stacey Sutton for a public conversation through the Boston Ujima Project’s #BlackTrust: Chuck Turner Arts & Lecture Series.

Moving across histories of Black settlement, cooperative economics, political struggle, and collective care, the conversation explored how Black communities have imagined and built alternative worlds within and beyond the constraints of American democracy.

Black Utopias: Aaron Robertson in Conversation with Stacey Sutton is the inaugural title in #BlackTrust, a book series based on public programs organized through the Boston Ujima Project’s #BlackTrust: Chuck Turner Arts & Lecture Series.
