The Hidden Machinery of Segregation in America
The racial divide in American neighborhoods didn't happen by accident. When riots erupted in Ferguson in 2014, many dismissed the city's segregation as an unfortunate byproduct of personal choices and economic factors. This comforting narrative allows us to avoid confronting a disturbing truth: America's residential segregation was deliberately engineered through explicit government policies at federal, state, and local levels. For generations, we've been told a myth about how our segregated landscape formed - a myth that has prevented us from addressing the root causes of racial inequality that persist today. What if everything you thought you knew about how America's neighborhoods became segregated was wrong? Public housing wasn't always associated with crime-ridden high-rises in segregated neighborhoods. Originally built for working and lower-middle-class white families, early public housing was attractive, well-maintained, and selective - with strict tenant requirements including good housekeeping habits and sufficient furniture. The transformation began during World War I when the federal government's first civilian housing projects explicitly excluded African Americans, even in northern cities where they worked in significant numbers.
