Kerner Report: Ep 5: The Making of the Ghetto: How Policies Built America's Cages

Host Connie Morris examines how federal policies, redlining, restrictive covenants, white flight, and urban renewal deliberately created and maintained the ghetto, trapping Black families in poverty and blocking access to wealth.

Using the 1968 commission's findings and personal perspective, this episode traces the systemic roots of segregation and previews the next episode’s look at daily life inside these neighborhoods.
