Century College is proud to partner with Mapping Prejudice and St. Catherine University to mobilize volunteers to document housing injustice in Ramsey County.
Racial covenants were legal clauses embedded in property deeds that barred people who were not white from buying or occupying land. These covenants were widespread across the U.S. and here in Minnesota. But there is a lot that we don’t know. How common were these restrictions? What areas of our community were reserved for white people only? How much land was restricted in this way? When were they put into place? What did they say? What are the legacies of these practices today?
Century students, faculty, & staff and members of the White Bear Lake community are invited to help us make a map that can answer these questions. As we do this research together, we will explore the connections between past injustices and present disparities. This is the first step towards meaningful change.This online training session will teach you what you need to know to contribute to this project.
Two online videos can be helpful as you get ready to do this work. The award-winning TPT documentaryJim Crow of the North将解释这张地图背后的历史。一个nd thisMapping Prejudice training videowill show you what we need volunteers to do.
