Mapping Exclusion: Redlining in Iowa

The African American Museum of Iowa presents Mapping Exclusion: Redlining in Iowa. Redlining is the systematic denial of various services by federal and local government agencies and the private sector to residents of specific neighborhoods. Black populations in seven Iowa cities– Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Sioux City, Dubuque, Davenport, Des Moines, and Waterloo– were subject to redlined mapping. Join us for this fascinating presentation where we'll learn that by understanding the history of redlining, we can see how these policies impact Iowans today.
