Episode description
The wealth of minority communities in the United States has been held back by the loss or lack of generational wealth due to redlining, created by the Franklin D. Roosevelt Administration in the 1930s and all made possible by a Supreme Court decision.
This Thread of History goes from the Supreme Court, to the Federal Housing Administration, to generational poverty and socio-economic statuses of people in minority communities today.
