Description
Redlining and other forms of residential segregation are intimately tied to the history of race in America. By zoning cities along to racialized lines, redlining has created and reproduced disparities in the lives and opportunities of different racial groups that are carried over generation after generation. Indeed, redlining shows the complexities and endurance of racial discrimination in the economy: because it is tied to both educational opportunities (through, for example, access to schools and public infrastructures) and wealth (through the value of home property), redlining becomes a highly persistent form of racialized discrimination.
In this exercise, you will have to assess the consequences of redlining to contemporary San Diego. For this, you will have to see how San Diego was originally redlined by consulting the online resource of NCRC athttps://ncrc.org/holc-healthLinks to an external site.. This resource allows you to explore the way San Diego was originally redlined into four distinct types of areas: Green, Blue, Yellow, and Red (https://dsl.richmond.edu/socialvulnerability/map/#loc=11/32.737/-117.138&city=san-diego-cLinks to an external site.).
