Indiana University - Redlining Revisited: How Past Maps Shape Modern Law
For much of the 20th century, the federal Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) maps graded neighborhoods by perceived “risk,” embedding race-based assumptions into housing, lending, and land-use systems, in a practice known as redlining. Though formally outlawed, the legacy of redlining continues to influence modern legal frameworks from zoning and environmental regulation to credit access, school funding, and policing patterns.
Join ACS for a conversation on how historic redlining maps still shape the legal landscape today. Panelists Kathleen Bensberg, civil rights litigator, and Amy Nelson, Executive Director at Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana, will examine the enduring structural consequences of redlining and consider what lawyers can do to help communities break free from the lines drawn generations ago.
