Evidence

The other point that we made clear to the participants was that antiblack discrimination was still legal after the Thirteenth Amendment ended chattel slavery. They were told about government-sponsored FHA redlining, which enabled white families to buy homes and build wealth but denied those opportunities to black Americans. They were made aware of racially restrictive covenants that excluded black Americans from buying homes in certain neighborhoods and subdivisions until the 1968 Fair Housing Act became law. — Dorothy A.
