About this event

Montgomery History, in partnership with Montgomery County Lynching Memorial Project, presents "From Restrictive Covenants to Redlining: The National History of Housing Segregation." This virtual talk with Dr. Paige Glotzer, Associate Professor of History at the University of Florida and author of How the Suburbs Were Segregated, contextualizes Montgomery County within a national history of housing segregation. Beginning with restrictive covenants and nuisance laws, it traces the people, policies, and tools that made segregation an inescapable part of the American landscape. Topics include housing discrimination and violence, redlining, and urban renewal, as well as the relationship between race and property value. It also asks why housing segregation remained profitable even as attitudes about inequality changed. Audience members are invited to consider the hidden legacies of old practices and how they still impact the US today.


This program is made possible thanks to the generous support of the County's Commission on Remembrance and Reconciliation.
