Jim Crow of the North discussion (2021-01-28)

Abstract

Join Jacob Virden, founder of the podcast money.power.land.solidarity. ( MPLS), for a Zoom discussion of the Minnesota Experience episode “Jim Crow of the North." From PBS: “Why does Minnesota suffer through some of the worst racial disparities in the nation? One answer is the spread of racist, restrictive real estate covenants in the early 20th century. Jim Crow of the North charts the progression of racist policies and practices from the advent of restrictive covenants after the turn of the last century to their final elimination in the late 1960s.” All are welcome at the discussion, but we invite you to watch the episode via PBS (55 min.) ahead of time.
