This is in part why President Biden issued an executive order back in January, intended to right the historical wrongs Black folks have faced when it comes to housing and home ownership in this country. But first, let's take it back. - The dawn of the 20th century, African-Americans in major cities lived scattered throughout the city. They weren't segregated particularly, it's only with the Great Migration of six to seven million African-Americans North and West escaping the South. The predominant response of the United States government and state and local governments to the Great Migration was to contain Black people in their own neighborhoods. And HUD, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, was particularly a part of this role when the precursors to HUD introduced and encouraged racially restrictive covenants, redlining of every major city where African-Americans landed.

Take Miami for example, two highways; I-95, and I-395, bulldoze right through the predominantly Black and low income Overtown neighborhood. Previously called Colored Town during segregation. - The Department of Housing and Urban Development and the federal government writ large in the first seven decades of the 20th century, invested billions of dollars in racial segregation and concentrated poverty.

They replaced it with another one, and the iconic Black "ghetto", I don't use that as a purgative, I use it as a descriptor, was a follow on institution to slavery and Jim Crow. That's the legacy that every new administration inherits and the Biden administration has, as well. - Today, I'm directing the Department of Housing and Urban Affairs and Urban Development to redress historical racism in federal housing policies. - This executive order is just one of four signed by President Biden designed to address racial equity in the United States.
