Document Summary
Residential segregation of free blacks in northern cities before civil war. Nyc"s harlem and boston"s roxbury after 1900. Practices of redlining, (refuse a loan) steering, alien land laws, racially restrictive covenants (1926-1948) Alien land laws were a series of legislative attempts to discourage asian and other. non-desirable immigrants from settling permanently in u. s. states and territories by limiting their ability to own land and property. Until 1952 redlining is the practice of denying services, either directly or through selectively raising prices, to residents of certain areas based on the racial or ethnic composition of those areas. Consider factors of being near schools, grocery stores. Ex: if trader joe"s is made in your neighborhood, the value of your home goes up. Shelley v. kraemer (1948): white kraemers lived in a missouri neighborhood governed by a restrictive covenant that was a private agreement that prevented blacks from owning property in the kraemers" subdivision.
