Redacting “Whites Only” Language.
In recent years, a number of US states have passed laws enabling homeowners to eliminate racist covenants from their property deeds. Although it was illegal and not enforceable, the “Whites only” language was still included in the housing records for many residential areas. What’s the purpose of the new laws on eliminating racist covenants? What’s their potential impact on the housing system? What’s the legacy of redlining? How is this conversation helping rectify past racial injustices?
