This year’s Common Reading, Tales of Two Americas, opens with a piece by Rebecca Solnit about the consequences of gentrification and development in a San Francisco neighborhood. We open the WSU Common Reading year with a 4:30 p.m. screening today in CUE 203 of On the Brink: A Central District Story of History, Hope, and Determination. This 2019 documentary brings the topic of gentrification to our own region, exploring the consequences of those processes in Seattle’s Central District, long a vibrant center of African American community and culture. Hosted by the WSU Pullman Common Reading Program. To see the many events ahead this semester, see commonreading.wsu.edu/calendar/ or the Common Reading portal in Presence.
