Why Are Cities Still So Segregated? – Popular Sociology

Educational Videos
Written By Yasmine Robles

This TED-Ed explains that U.S. cities remain racially divided because past discriminatory housing policies—like racial covenants that barred people of color from buying or renting in many neighborhoods and redlining that cut off investment to Black communities—created deeply entrenched patterns of segregation and unequal access to wealth and opportunity. Even after legal bans like the Fair Housing Act, the legacy of these practices continues to shape where people live and how resources are distributed.
