Words matter.
How discriminatory covenants were used to segregate Minnesota communities.
In post-Civil War Minnesota and across the country, developers, real estate agents, and local, state and federal governments prohibited Black Americans from realizing their full rights and opportunities as citizens. Governments and developers deliberately used discriminatory covenants to create segregated communities and build wealth for the white community at the expense of the Black community and other people of color.These “white-only” covenants restricted families along racial and ethnic lines from owning homes in the majority of neighborhoods in our cities.
