Join us for this online presentation of the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center’s Mapping Cville project, the community-wide effort to comb through hundreds of thousands of pages of property records to create a map showing how racist covenants were used to prevent African Americans from living in many neighborhoods over the years. Journalist Jordy Yager, the Digital Humanities Fellow at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center and founder of the Mapping Cville project, will walk participants through the history of local racist housing policies, the lasting legacies we live with today, and what can be done about them.
This is a free virtual event scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 12, 8:30–10 a.m. Click here to register.
