The Black Lives Next Door

12/12/2020

In this opinion piece from The New York Times, the author examines the ongoing issue of residential segregation in America and its connection to the Black Lives Matter movement. The article delves into the history of redlining, discriminatory practices, and policies that have resulted in persistent racial segregation in housing. It highlights how this segregation not only perpetuates inequality but also exacerbates the issues of police violence and systemic racism. The author argues that meaningful progress in tackling racial injustice requires addressing residential segregation and enacting policies that promote desegregation and equitable housing opportunities.
