Adaptive Reuse: Reimagining Black Futures in the Midwest
The Third Biennial Black Midwest Symposium, Adaptive Reuse: Reimagining Black Futures in the Midwest, will take place October 18-19, 2024 at the Dayton Metro Library, Main Branch, in Downtown Dayton, Ohio.
This year’s theme, “Adaptive Reuse,” is more than a concept—it’s a call to action for Black communities and allies across the Midwest.
