The Resurrection of ADVANCE

The University at Buffalo East Side Neighborhood Transformation Project [UB-ESNTP], a program of the Center for Urban Studies within the UB School of Architecture and Planning, announces the launch of its e-newsletter, ADVANCE. Inspiration for this newsletter and for its title comes from a long history of African-American and other people of color speaking truth to power through the printed word.
