Redlining, discriminatory lending practices, public housing, subprime mortgage crisis and state backed violence against black people. Learn all you ever wanted to know about ongoing segregation of black Americans in the United States. This is the global black history podcast one part episode to help you better  contextualize the struggle for housing equity in the United States and the decades of legal segregation against African Americans. I make a few jokes too.
