Their talk examines how federal and local policies like redlining and racially restrictive covenants (as demonstrated by this summer's Yale Law report) segregated Rochester, built wealth for its white citizens and disenfranchised people of color. It explores how local civil rights leaders like Judge Reuben Davis, Howard Coles, Dr. Alice Young and many others fought back. Finally, it connects these past policies to the disparity and inequality we see in Rochester today and invites us to learn from and apply the activism of Rochester's past to its present.
