Housing Discrimination in the Jim Crow North and the Case for Reparations
February 6, 2020 6:30pm – 8:30pm

But after emancipation, black people continued to face systematic violence and institutional racism—lack of access to safe, affordable and decent housing is one of the most egregious examples. Join historians Beryl Satter, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, and Nathan Connolly in this discussion of the ways in which housing policy, over the course of the 20th and into the 21st century, created and re-created inequality.
