History 21 The Podcast - 4.11 Mapping Prejudice

Before 1968, contractors and landowners deliberately wrote racial covenants and clauses into some property deeds to keep anyone "other than the caucasian race" from buying or occupying homes. Rebecca Gillette talks about the history of these racial covenants and their work at Mapping Prejudice to find and identify them among millions of pages of documents, including in Anoka County.

This is a portion of a program given at the ACHS Annual Meeting, May 19, 2024.
