A List of Questions to Provoke Thought about the Economic and Social Practice of Redlining


 

OK, moving right along this morning. Several years ago, I became quite interested in the history of mortgage lending in the United States, particularly the practice of redlining. I read Richard Rothstein’s excellent book The Color of Lawwhich I highly recommend to you, particularly if you are interested in cities and social justice. The topic of redlining came up in one of the 11th-grade English classes I co-taught, so I worked up this questions to inform thinking on redlining to distribute to students.

If you find typos in this document, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
