@HussleMase Housing segregation was one of the most effective ways Whites used to deny Blacks access to wealth and upward mobility. Redlining, undervaluing Black property, denial of loans, and charging higher interest rates on loans completed the campaign to keep Blacks impoverished.

The Color Tax https://t.co/dq4mnPfqbJ @ShameofChicago Black families were forced to purchase residences via contract sales, paying premiums for homes that they could lose after missing just a single payment.
