Title

Hartford Redlining Map 1950-1955

Description

This is the redlining map used to justify unfair lending practices in Hartford from 1950-1955. Due to redlining many tenants of color were barred from purchasing homes in suburban areas of town due to the way mortgages were set up. This lack of inclusion caused tenants to continue to stay in units that were not invested in and not maintained.
