Join Charles Rotramel and Gregg Taylor for the reClaimed podcast. Conversations that shed hopeful light on challenging subjects and social justice issues. 

Oct 12, 2018

In Part 12 of Redlining & White Noise, our friend Jonathan Russell joins us for a conversation about whiteness and land domination. Using his recent article, the ‘white lie’ connecting President Trump’s pardon of arsonists, current immigration policy, and Charlottesville as a launch point, this episode focuses on the historical and contemporary linkage between racial identity and property ownership.

Jonathan Russell is the Vice President of Programs at Bay Area Rescue Mission in Richmond, California. He is also a Contributing Fellow at the University of Southern California Center for Religion and Civic Culture and is an Adjunct Instructor of Philosophy and Religion at Chaffey College.

We discuss the ideas of two additional writers in this episode:
