I wanted to share some stellar student work in my SS methods class. I asked them to use historic redlining map data base and 1940 census to research impact of segregation policy. Some researched their families, others the houses they lived in. Other creative responses as well.
They loved the assignment.
Here's how my students used historical redlining maps and the 1940 Census to make a personal connection with government policies that fostered inequality and segregated nearly every major American city. Resources, how-to and sample student projects. https://peterpappas.com/2020/11/mapping-inequality-exploring-personal-history-in-redline-maps-and-the-1940-census.html redlining Census
