Roots of racial disparities are seen through a new lens in this film that explores the origins of housing segregation in the Minneapolis area. But the story also illustrates how African-American families and leaders resisted this insidious practice, and how Black people built community — within and despite — the red lines that these restrictive covenants created.

Malcolm X once said, "It's not just the South! As long as you're south of the Canadian border, you're in the south!"
I learn more things on utube than in any history class.
How can people not understand that these things held black people back??
Learning that growing up in the ghetto wasn’t my family’s fault by any means. Helped me to love myself and my family that much more.
Again How can a people pull themselves up by their Boot Straps if their Boots came with no Straps??!!
We were never really accepted as American citizens!!
They call it gentrification now pay attention.
"In South Africa, they preach separation and practice separation, in America, we preach integration and practice segregation" - Malcolm X 1963
The history in this country is sickening! Seriously
after so called school everyone needs to get re-education on our True HISTORY.
Housing discrimination was only one of dozens of aspects of Jim Crow.
How fitting this documentary is considering what has recently taken place in Minnesota.
This stuff is STILL happening today. When my father was looking for a home in the 90s, the real estate agents ONLY showed him homes in black neighborhoods. He was told that he couldn’t afford the house he really wanted. Until he finally chose a different agent, then he was finally able to view what he actually wanted.
We can be slaves in their house, our mother's can nurse their kids but they don't want to live by us.
Tears in my eyes, I am sorry for my people. We are damaged physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. Oh my God free us please.
I'm 74 years old, and I'll never understand the ignorance of people. At the end of the day, we're all human beings.
This was just a eye wink ago, but they want us to get over it
The cold reality of our existence. Institutional racism; then and now
This is happening RIGHT NOW on many states!
We wrestled not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers or darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places. Or translated, DEVILS.
