The federal government drew a map. That map still determines who has wealth and who does not.
In Episode 8 of Committed to Misunderstanding, licensedclinical mental health therapist Chuck Lenahan examines redlining — not as abanking practice, but as a federal engineering project that built racial wealthinequality into the physical structure of every American city. The HOLC maps.The FHA Underwriting Manual. The language. The data. The receipts.
Whitewashed history brought back to its technicolor reality.With receipts.
