| Abstract: |
The article "Simulating Redlining: When 'Race Was the Real Currency'" discusses the history of redlining and its impact on segregation and wealth disparities in cities like Philadelphia. The author, a teacher, created a simulation to help students understand how redlining policies led to segregation and wealth gaps. The simulation highlighted how white families benefited from government policies like FHA loans, while Black families faced barriers to homeownership and wealth accumulation. Through the simulation and follow-up activities, students gained insights into the systemic racism embedded in housing policies and its lasting effects on racial inequality.
