Event Details

Guest Lecturer: Author Bruce Haynes, "Redlines, Black Spaces"
Speaker: Dr. Kishauna Soljour, Professor of History and curator

This program will present how the federal government used racial discrimination to create maps outlining Black communities, which in turn, were deemed risky investments by banks. This policy has long-term medical and environmental impacts that also affected Black residents' ability to buy property, establish businesses, access health care, and much more.

The program will also cover redlining in our local communities and its continuing impacts, cause, and effects, and grassroots solutions.

This program will be held in-person as well as Zoom which will require registration.
