Facing a housing crisis made more acute by the Covid-19 pandemic, esteemed culture bearer and SNCC activist Curtis Mohammad builds a powerful coalition in New Orleans to reclaim blighted, vacant properties owned by the city and state. Muhammad mentors Cole Williams, a musician and promising leader for social justice, as she finds her voice and organizes with carpenters, doctors, financial planners, electricians, social workers, and others to restore not just blighted housing, but provide essential vocational and social services to displaced, houseless citizens. Together, they radically reimagine and manifest a participatory politics that serves the least of ours.
