Historical Discrimination, Redlining, and Highway Construction

The chapter delves into the historical discrimination against Black Americans through redlining and the construction of highways, attributing these practices to the progressive wing rather than the modern left. It explores the impact of these policies on thriving Black communities, the dispersal of social capital, and the loss of upward mobility due to highway displacements. The conversation also highlights the need for conservatives to engage in discussions on urban renewal, FHA, and highways to present their viewpoints and positively impact minority communities.
