It's 2022, Why are School's still Segregated?
I ask myself this question often! It truly is sad that in the world we live in discrimination has always been a part of it, even today. Segregation today had a start from Redlining; Redlining was the segregation of housing by a green and red side, the green side was for rich white Americans, and the red was predominately African Americans because of the cost of housing being 30% more for them. With that separation in neighborhoods, came segregation in schools, and as time continued, the segregation continued. Because of the separation of housing the the predominately white area had higher property taxes so they had better schools, and the predominately African American area had less funding for their schools, and it still is like that in most areas today. As stated in the "Redlining: Black History for White People" podcast, "America wasn't segregated by accident", it came from the lawmakers in the beginning, and not much has changed. It's hard to hope for the world to change, when every little step forward there is 5 steps back.
