To my LinkedIn friends and colleagues, Some of you are aware of my passion for documentaries covering topics such as industry, government, public figures, and transportation. It's my privilege to share with you a documentary (see YouTube link below) about my hometown of Jefferson City, MO, which captures the oral history of residents from a black neighborhood known as "The Foot". This area was a vibrant mixed-use community, boasting everything from hotels to grocery stores. When it came to entertainment, The Foot was a hotspot where talented musical acts like Ike and Tina Turner often performed. I'm sharing this video not just because it's about my hometown, where many of my family members still reside, but because it provides a broader insight into the issue of Urban Renewal. We all know that Urban Renewal initiatives were largely destructive practices that disproportionately affected low-income and minority neighborhoods. However, too often, I think people associate Urban Renewal as an issue that only impacted large urban areas like Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, NYC, and St. Louis. Small cities, like the one I grew up in, also suffered from this same negative approach to planning, and the impacts it had on small communities were just as devastating for those who lived there as they were for residents of big cities. Many of you are involved in industries that support and lead projects with the potential to profoundly influence both infrastructure and the social fabric of the communities they serve. This documentary, along with other examples, serves as a reminder that what we do truly matters and can have a lasting and deep impact. We must never lose sight of this as we advise and lead such developments. Happy Black History Month! https://lnkd.in/gtXy9tfC

Universities can make significant improvements to the economic health and personal wellbeing of their community. It’s exciting to see University of Virginia President Jim Ryan’s commitment to this work bearing fruit in Charlottesville! Partnering with nonprofits with established relationships in the community allows anchor institutions like UVA to deliver support where it’s most needed, coordinate to avoid duplication of efforts, and invest in long-term projects that encourage sustained growth. Has your nonprofit benefited from a ‘town to gown’ partnership? What lessons can you share here to help others thrive?
CNE's Executive Director, Cristine Nardi, participated in a panel last week as part of UVA's Democracy360. The topic of the panel was the "President’s Council on UVA-Community Partnerships: Anchor Institutions as Civic Participants". Together, they spoke about the importance of UVA's work in the community including with local organizations like CNE. She is seen pictured here alongside UVA's President Jim Ryan and other panelists.

This week is an important beginning of idealistic views of who we are as a people. Wednesday is the celebration of the same date in 1865 when the last slaves were freed in Galveston, Texas. The potential idealism that fueled some during that moment as they headed into a new territory of freedom is overwhelming to imagine. Their dreams of freedom went from feeling like a fantasy to a possibility. And in just over two weeks, we will be celebrating the freedom and independence of our country from another power of dominance and oppression. Back then, there were sets of ideals and principles of a free nation that the founding Americans were willing to die for. But there are similarities in both instances. The days we mark as June 19th and July 4th are worth celebrating, but upon reflection, they also generate a reflection of all the action that was required then and is required now. At a team meeting this morning, there was an interesting ice breaker. Would you rather meet your great, great grandparents or your great, great grandchildren. Put into the context of these next two dates of celebration, I am not sure what would be more enlightening; bringing my great, great grandparents to now or my great, great grandchildren. What would they think of where we are, and the progress we have (and haven't made)? While there will be reminders of the divisiveness over the next two weeks, I plan to reflect with my family and three kids on all that has been accomplished. I plan to re-teach the ideals of what can be for all of us when we care about our fellow citizens and believe in the better world ahead of us. Happy Juneteenth Week, everyone.

The challenge is real: in 2024, we face numerous decisive elections that will have a major influence on the functionality of our democratic system. How much more political fragmentation and polarization will we see - and what does that imply for responses from civil society, policy makers and staunch but silent democrats? These are only some of the questions we discuss within our Alfred Landecker Foundation community. #defenddemocracy #inthistogether
“We want to foster connections, work together on ideas, learn from each other, challenge each other, and be inspired by each other,” says our co-CEO, Silke Muelherr, speaking at last summer’s Landecker Community Summit. Encompassing various backgrounds from academia to activism, our community thrives on unique and unconventional perspectives, driving us to find innovative solutions to the pressing questions of our times. The Landecker Community is a network of people from organisations that are funded by us or who are otherwise interlinked with our work. Together, we support and empower each other, striving collectively to remember the Holocaust, fight antisemitism and other forms of group-based hatred, and strengthen democracy and the rule of law.
