How Redlining Helped Create Food Insecurity




The Fifty One show

Summary: Redlining effectively segregated U.S. cities for decades, and precipitated divestment from low-income neighborhoods. Those same neighborhoods are the ones struggling with food insecurity today. Next week, we'll explore one of those cities (Birmingham, AL), but in this episode we look at the history of redlining and how it intersects with food access issues.  Support the project: damemagazine.com/support-our-work Sign up for ProPublica's User's Guide to Democracy: propublica.org/voterguide.
