In the U.S., slavery was abolished over 130 years ago, yet problems of segregation and inequality persist in continually changing forms. Is it possible that patterns in the two countries will converge? Focusing on developments affecting major urban centers, South African civic movement leader Mzwanele Mayekiso, Columbia University professor Peter Marcuse, and New York City Planning Commissioner Ron Shiffman will discuss the forces influencing the outcome in South Africa and possible parallels in this country.
