Social Justice Tours presents Williamsburg Gentrification Tour

May 11, 2018
11:00  -  1:00
Starting Location: The southeast corner of Bedford Avenue and North 7th Street (across the street from the Dunkin Donuts in Williamsburg).

This two-hour long tour of Williamsburg highlights two main themes: Gentrification and Environmental Justice. Williamsburg offers an extreme example of both of these broader themes, and thus makes a very interesting case-study neighborhood in which to delve into these issues.

Starting Location: The southeast corner of Bedford Avenue and North 7th Street (across the street from the Dunkin Donuts in Williamsburg). Dan Kaminsky will be holding a sign that says “Social Justice Tours”.
