UEDA'S THIRD EMERGING TOPIC SERIES SESSION OF 2019

In partnership with Forward Community Investments and the Wisconsin Partnership for Housing Development, we will welcome Kirsten Delegard and Kevin Ehrman-Solberg, co-founders of the Minneapolis-based research group, Mapping Prejudice,
for our third Emerging Topic Series session of 2019.

About the Session
During the twentieth century, racially-restrictive deeds were a ubiquitous part of real estate transactions. Covenants were embedded in property deeds all over the country to prevent people of color from buying or even occupying land, with the popularity of their use well documented in cities across the United States, including St. Louis; Seattle; Chicago; Hartford, Connecticut; Kansas City and Washington D.C.


This session will provide attendees with an understanding of racial covenants, how they were executed, and how they shifted the racial landscape of cities like Milwaukee.

We will also hear from local group Divided by Design on efforts to develop a curriculum for middle and high school students that teaches the history of segregation in this country.



Tickets are $20 for non-UEDA members.
Breakfast will be served.
