📢 HEY MILWAUKEE! Join us in person for a book

📢 HEY MILWAUKEE!

Join us in person for a book release and live discussion with authors Richard and Leah Rothstein along with Milwaukee-based researcher at the Redress Movement Reggie Jackson as they talk Just Action!

Racial segregation characterizes every metropolitan area in the U.S. and bears responsibility for our most serious social and economic problems. We’ve taken no serious steps to desegregate neighborhoods, however, because we are hobbled by a national myth that residential segregation is de facto—the result of private discrimination or personal choices that do not violate constitutional rights. The Color of Law demonstrates, however, that residential segregation was created by racially explicit and unconstitutional government policy.

Just Action describes how we can begin to address this, providing dozens of strategies local groups can pursue to redress segregation in their own communities. By starting with achievable local victories, we can build a national movement that can remedy our unconstitutional racial landscape.

Redressing segregation begins with understanding segregation. Segregation follows certain patterns nationwide but holds no specific shape. It varies from city to city, and community to community. Join us for this forthcoming webinar where we will talk about how you can discover how segregation shaped your neighborhood, beginning with resources as simple as websites and the holdings of your local library. In addition to presenting our own resources related to this research, we will also introduce you to two groups leading the country in researching histories of local segregation through their investigations of racially restrictive covenants, the Chicago Covenants and Mapping Prejudice projects.

We out here making Black History EVERY DAY! To celebrate the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth, we want to uplift the work and the SUCCESSES of the everyday people who have come together to bring Redress to their cities.

In Milwaukee we launched a petition to the Board of County Supervisors to develop a Housing Subcommittee. This Subcommittee would serve to address the myriad housing inequities present in Milwaukee, and would be crucial in redressing one of America's most segregated cities.

In Denver, they've hosted Redress House Parties to discuss Zoning and its implications in Racial Segregation.

In Charlotte, folks are hitting the streets with Action NC and the Housing Justice Coalition to fight for fair housing.

And we're just getting started.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dreamed of economic justice where discriminatory practices such as racial steering, redlining, and blockbusting no longer kept us segregated or kept our neighborhoods unequal.

Beginning with the first federal highway law in 19

Beginning with the first federal highway law in 1956, transportation planners used highways to isolate or destroy Black neighborhoods by cutting them off from adjoining areas. Once the highways were built, the social and economic fabric of these neighborhoods began to deteriorate", Joan Fitzgerald, Professor of Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University and Julian Agyeman, Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University, for the Milwaukee Independent.

What could redress for highway expansion look like? Fitzgerald and Agyeman paint a picture for us in their article for the Milwaukee Independent found here: http://www.milwaukeeindependent.com/syndicated/segregated-infrastructure-removing-urban-highways-can-repair-neighborhoods-blighted-racist-policies/.
