Read the passage.
Government-sponsored segregation,
redlining, and blockbusting all caused
unequal access to post-war prosperity.
Segregation policies, enforced through
discriminatory laws and zoning, limited
minorities to poorer neighborhoods with
limited resources. Redlining denied loans or
charged higher rates to minorities in certain
areas, hindering their ability to own homes
and build wealth. Blockbusting, a tactic used
by agents, prompted white flight from
neighborhoods, leading to decreased property
values. This cycle continued to cause housing
discrimination, preventing Black Americans
to thrive
How did segregation, redlining, and blockbusting
lead to unequal wealth after the war?
O People in cities lived more closely together
and shared resources.
Highways built in city centers helped inner-
city businesses by bringing more customers.
African American families could not buy
homes where their investments would grow
more quickly.
○ Black-owned businesses thrived by serving
those who could not be served in white-
owned shops.
