Three distinct neighborhoods—Wilmington's Brooklyn, Atlanta's Sweet Auburn, and Chicago's Bronzeville have all met the same demise—the utter destruction of Black wealth. Massacres, race riots, and government policies sabotaged these once-prosperous communities of Black families and professionals. Directed by Emmy Award-winning Asako Gladsjo and Academy Award Nominee Sam Pollard, RISE AND REBUILD: A TALE OF THREE CITIES confronts the historical destruction of Black wealth in communities and devises strategies for building a more equitable future.
