Question 1
In Untimely Futures, Brandy Summers writes “We can imagine that, in the yet-to-come in which we are already living — which is also a long-ago out of which we have never emerged — the most intensely marginalized ‘residents’ of dystopian cities will continue to improvise, to generate opportunities to render unlivable places livable. In doing so, they will be continuing to cope with conditions generated by decisions many decades old and circumstances that are no longer clearly visible.”
Prompt: Drawing on material covered in this section (Race, Redlining, and Redevelopment in the Bay Area and Black Power/Black Resistance), briefly identify and describe three “decisions many decades old” that have shaped the landscape of housing inequality in cities like Oakland and San Francisco. What role did the federal and local (i.e., city) governments play in generating the housing inequalities that exist in cities today? Use specific examples and evidence from class and the readings to identify policies and practices that have shaped housing inequality today.

Question 2
Throughout the first half of the semester, we’ve identified patterns of oppression, exploitation, and violence and patterns of Black resistance. Drawing on material covered in our discussion of Black Power/Black Resistance (including Agents of Change documentary related readings, lecture, and videos shown in class), identify and describe at least two examples of how Black scholars, activists, residents, etc. engaged in acts of resistance. What was at stake in these efforts? What impact did these efforts have? Your answers must include direct references to material covered in this section.
