Episode 15: Uncovering the Past: Mapping Prejudice in Contra Costa County
In this episode of Government Speak, we’re digging into the hidden history written into the deeds of homes across Contra Costa County. The Clerk-Recorder’s Office discuss the Mapping Prejudice Project—a powerful nationwide initiative uncovering racially restrictive housing covenants that once shaped who could live where in our communities.
What does it mean to map these covenants today? How does this work help us better understand modern-day housing inequities? And where do we go from here?
Guests: Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters Kristin Connelly and Host Kristi Jourdan
