Posted • This lesson, “How Red Lines Built White Wealth: A Lesson on Housing Segregation in the 20th Century,” introduces students to the 20th-century housing policies that bankrolled white capital accumulation while halting Black social mobility — and contributed to the absurd injustice of the modern wealth gap.
Find more remote-ready lessons here and refer to our remote teaching guide.
The mixer role play is based on Richard Rothstein’s The Color of Law (Liveright, 2017), which shows in exacting detail how government policies segregated every major city in the United States with dire consequences for African Americans. Students encounter stories about the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, the Federal Housing Administration, the Veterans Administration, redlining, blockbusting, zoning, racially restrictive deeds and covenants, and move-in violence. Students also meet many people who fought bravely against this dizzying array of racist policies. This could be an introductory lesson in a unit on housing segregation, gentrification, the racial wealth gap, and/or reparations in a U.S. history, economics, or government course.

How cute are these GC that Koba our regular Pb&js specialist donated for supplies. Real interesting day, completely ran out of lunches, handed out lots of pet food from & got to meet some awesome local tenant union neighbors. Thank you for all the volunteers showing up, and showing out! (Got very little information on the forced removal at LA Fitness, the city is saying they posted notice, the community is saying they did not. Unfortunately one of our favs was offered no support, basically ignored, but was checked on by Kathryn from GLA, thank you, and there were many unmarked SPD cars there. We were still doing outreach to this location, but have now made it a point to walk the major blocks of Lake City to get them lunches + basic needs.)

Posted • We are in the coldest part of the year 🥶Anyone that is sleeping outside is doing so due to necessity and not by choice 😞

Please, if you see people sleeping outside, unless you’re offering help, leave them alone. It’s the kindest thing you can do 💜

Posted • "In the aftermath of the insurrection a year ago at the U.S. Capitol, many leading historians drew parallels between the violence and the Reconstruction era, the period of political revolution directly following the American Civil War.

But despite the timeliness of the era in today’s climate, many students in American schools will not get a full education on Reconstruction until they get to college."
