"Redlined: Cities, Suburbs, and Segregation" - Andrew R. Gustafson, historian

During the Great Depression, redlining, the disinvestment of some neighborhoods and populations in favor of others, often on the basis of race, began as a private practice but became enshrined in federal policy. Learn how the system of redlining shaped the Kansas City area but was also shaped by Johnson County people and events. Examine the legacies of redlining that continue to impact communities and populations in cities across the nation. Join Andrew R. Gustafson, Johnson County Museum’s curator of interpretation, as he shares the research for their newest exhibit, “REDLINED: Cities, Suburbs, and Segregation.” To learn more about the exhibit, associated programs, and two dozen plus regional partners that made it possible, visit www.jcprd.com/Redlined
