Residential segregation in Connecticut is no accident, but the result of a history of intentional government policies, such as redlining, racial covenants, and discriminatory lending, and local zoning ordinances. This webinar, intended for educators at all grade levels and backgrounds, will explore the historical roots of present-day segregation and discuss how to engage with this history in our classrooms, to better understand the racial disparities that exist in our state.

This lecture is presented by the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition and the Anti-Racist Teaching and Learning Collective at Yale University.
