In this eye-opening episode of "Unequal by Design," Connie Morris delves into the deep-seated roots of housing inequality in America. Titled "Red Lines and White Picket Fences: How Housing Was Weaponized," the episode explores how policies intentionally created barriers to home ownership for many minority communities.
Through a detailed analysis of redlining and its effects, Morris highlights how discriminatory practices have perpetuated generational wealth gaps. Listen as she breaks down how neighborhoods were color-coded and systematically shut off from opportunities that white families were able to seize. These invisible barriers have had lasting impacts, limiting access to quality education, healthcare, and economic advancements.
Connie Morris offers actionable steps on how communities can begin to dismantle these historic inequalities, pushing for community reinvestment and policy change. Tune in to understand how the American Dream was skewed by design and learn how you can be a part of building a fairer future.
