In the 1930’s, as a means to boost the middle class, the US Government
made mortgages available through a program called the Home Owners’
Loan Corporation (HOLC). In a well-documented process known as
redlining, government officials outlined neighborhoods on city maps
and then color-coded the areas. The neighborhoods deemed “declining”
(yellow) or “hazardous” (red) were not considered for mortgages—these
were integrated or non-white neighborhoods. Banks and insurance
companies followed the example of the Federal Government and did not
finance home ownership in these areas either. This practice was legal
until 1968. The residue of this institutional racism continues to
segregate, allowing some communities to thrive while others suffer.
Equality in America is directly linked to property. It is the way we
accrue money, pass down inheritance, and get access to education,
food, and employment. Where you live in the United States is even
linked to life expectancy. In an era of constant information it is
important to repeat a truth over and over again until we fully
understand it and deal with it. As a white person I recognize my
middle class status, my education, my profession and my ability to be
a homeowner today are directly linked to my grandparents’ and
great-grandparents’ ability to own property.
