What is Redlining?

What is Racial Steering?

Predominantly black areas tend to have a vast difference in the quality level of education compared to all other communities, leading them to an future that is very much not promised.

School to Prison pipeline

  • On top of being surrounded by poverty and violence, most of these schools have replaced the school security, with on-duty police officers, leading to many petty felonies on school campus alone.

Continuing to attend a grade D or F school, from elementary to high school highly limits your access to any higher education such as a college or university. By leaving African Americans without proper job access, this keeps the poverty level at an all time high, and continues the cycle of uneducated and low wealth African Americans; all starting from the root of limited access to proper education due to racial steering and redlining.

  • By taking the average education offered to a black male into consideration, for African American males in their 20’s and even early 30’s, without a basic high school diploma, almost 40% have a greater chance of being in jail rather than having any job.
