Racial Exclusion in Fed Policies (jan 7, 1930 – oct 21, 1950)
Description:
Federal lending policies were exclusionary to blacks for the goal of maintaining property prices - kept minorities within their neighborhoodsTransportation Infrastructure were used as racial barriers - ex in Atlanta roads were often built to separate black from white neighborhoods, streets did not connect between different ethnic communities, and when they were whites petitioned to change the street names.
Suburbanization had in it a large element of class fear - we now build more and more physical barriers to separate ourselves from others
