Episode description
Redlining is one of the myriad ways blacks experienced discrimination in the housing market. This year marks the 105th anniversary of the Great Migration in Chicago, where hundreds of thousands of Black Americans left the South for better opportunities.

Even as overcrowded conditions cramped black families, a host of real estate policies prevented them from moving to white areas.
