City works to revise racially restrictive covenant language (Media Coverage)
Author(s): Michelle Phillips
Publication: Middleton Crossplains Times Tribune
Date: 9/18/2020
Abstract: Racial covenants have been in place since 1910 and began in Minneapolis, MN. White homeowners included the language after two Black families moved into an affluent, white neighborhood in 1909. They then began seeping into neighborhoods in other northern states as well, including Wisconsin. Kirsten Delegard, professor at the University of Minnesota, has set about finding and documenting the covenants in Minneapolis/St. Paul.

A direct push to take on wealth gaps (Media Coverage)
Author(s): Editorial Board
Publication: Star Tribune
Date: 1/4/2022
Abstract: Thanks to efforts like the University of Minnesota's "Mapping Prejudice'' project, there's more public awareness about racial covenants in housing. We now know that provisions in deeds barred many people of color from buying homes in some Twin Cities neighborhoods because of their race. Consequently, they were unable to accumulate property wealth and pass it along to relatives in the same way as many white people.

Abstract: The Just Deeds Project pairs homeowners with pro bono attorneys to discharge racial covenants, the language embedded in deeds beginning in 1910 that segregated neighborhoods throughout the Twin Cities metro.

Minneapolis homeowners can now reject racial covenants on their deeds (Media Coverage)
Author(s): Lydia Morrell
Publication: Minnesota Daily
Date: 3/22/2021
Abstract: The city of Minneapolis signed on to the Just Deeds initiative March 3, creating a free pathway for homeowners to discharge racial covenants that still exist in the deeds to their homes.
Supporters say Just Deeds is an early step in broader discussions about the impacts of racial covenants, which are contracts created in the early 1900s that blocked people of color from owning a property. Seven cities in Hennepin County have decided to take part in the Just Deeds project, and 101 covenants have been discharged so far.
Mapping Prejudice, a University of Minnesota-affiliated group of historians, geographers and community members, partnered with Just Deeds to share its map of racial covenants in Hennepin County. More than 8,000 racial covenants were recorded in Minneapolis.

Why Black homeownership lags badly in Minneapolis (Media Coverage)
Author(s): Rachel Bachman
Publication: Wall Street Journal
Date: 5/1/2021
Abstract: The homeownership gap between Black and white Americans has grown larger in recent years than at any time since the 1968 passage of the Fair Housing Act. In Minnesota’s biggest city, the gap is more like a canyon.
In the Minneapolis metro area, 77% of white residents own homes, compared with 25% of Black residents—a 52-percentage-point difference, larger than in any other major U.S. city, according to an analysis of census and survey data by the Minnesota State Demographic Center, a state agency.
A trove of new research suggests that one factor is a tool of discrimination from 100 years ago: racially restrictive covenants . . .

The city's new Just Deeds Project, unveiled Wednesday, will allow people to file paperwork condemning the racial covenants and formally declaring that they don't want them enforced.

Using Business 200 as a platform to work with Mapping Prejudice, these students made findings that sparked surprise and revelations about race and privilege.

Race & Real Estate: Strategic Segregation (Review)
Author(s): Michael Joyce

Date: 2/22/2021
Abstract: Where we live is intimately linked to our health — the life expectancy of a child born in a poor neighborhood can be 20 to 30 years shorter than a child born in an upscale neighborhood just a few miles away. For decades, we have used practices and policies in service of “strategic segregation,” concentrating poverty and people of color in the most unhealthy areas of a city. In this episode, we explore this legacy and how we can create better opportunities for housing and health.
