It's been almost two years since Max Rameau led his band of rabble-rousers to build Umoja Village on a vacant strip of Liberty City land, and more than a year since the shantytown burned to the ground. Yet, despite the fact that almost-affordable housing can finally be found on Biscayne or Brickell, Rameau's dedication to finding a safe place for all people to live, regardless of socioeconomic standing, perseveres. In Take Back the Land, he tells how he and his confederates fought the good fight — and how the good fight still needs to be fought. Lest things get bloody at tonight's reading, the ACLU is on hand to referee.
