About this listen

Redlining, an official government policy dating back to the 1930s, restricted housing and job markets for black people and continues to have a significant impact on communities of color today. Learn about how the FHA guidelines severely limited black access to mortgages and how the GI Bill excluded black veterans from the post-war housing boom, which has been a key source of intergenerational wealth for the middle class. Owning a home allows people to build investments and provides a financial cushion for future generations. Don't miss this discussion about systemic racism and how it continues to affect the black community. Join us as we emphasize the importance of establishing a black community in order to achieve black power and equality. Together, let's build a brighter future for black families and communities
