In Black and White: How racial segregation in housing shaped cities
from The Other Side Podcast · host Gannett
Ohio State economics professor Trevon Logan joins Dr. Terrance Dean and "The Other Side" podcast host Scot Kirk to talk about Logan's recent column in The Dispatch on how policies enacted decades ago to keep neighborhoods segregated still affect cities today. Logan explains how decisions on where to build highways, zoning for new housing developments, and redlining of neighborhoods kept Blacks s in less desirable areas of cities and hindered them from accumulating the wealth that comes from home ownership. Logan also argues that since segregation is the result of deliberate policy decisions, that's why he supports reparations for African-Americans.
