The books in this thread were incredibly helpful for naming the policies and practices that stripped wealth from Black people to build wealth for white families. I would also add #RaceForProfit by #KeeangaYamahttaTaylor and #StampedFromTheBeginning to the mix

@DeliaChristina this list looks incredible. I have #HowWeGetFree from #KeeangaYamahttaTaylor on my wish list but have mostly only read excerpts from #RaceForProfit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership for research I did at my last job on the history of the #RacialWealthGap

My role was to interrogate how the history of housing and economic development policies in the U.S. shaped health impacts

Part 6: #Equity?

When you work maintaining #foreclosures for #FannieMae, #FHA, #BoA, #WellsFargo, etc etc, you spend most of your time where the foreclosures are, which is America's poorest communities. & you see stuff. & you do your research, read books like #RaceForProfit, #ColorOfLaw, #Evicted, #Homewreckers. You learn about #redlining & how the predation has never really stopped, still goes on today.

You ask yourself why are we working for these equity-stripping assholes?
