"Excluded, Inside the Lines" exhibit at the @winglukemuseum. Takes a deeper look at our history when discriminatory practices and laws - redlining - were used to exclude the Black community (+other communities of color) from accessing housing in many parts of Seattle. #BHM2020
"The exhibit includes personal stories of Seattleites who have faced housing discrimination in the past or are currently affected by gentrification. It also features maps and timelines that reveal how redlining has influenced what the city looks like today.
...maps of Seattle’s demographic distribution today look very much like demographic maps of the 1940s, when the practice of redlining and discriminatory housing practices limited homeowners of color to certain segments of the city."
This exhibit wraps up at the Wing Luke on February 23rd but the Redlining Heritage Trail Tour will launch on April 25 as a partnership between @naamnw, @winglukemuseum, + @nationalparksvc.

fun Seattle history factoid: The Wing Luke is located in a neighborhood that has been a historical hub of cross-community, cross-racial, multi-ethnic, and multi-generational organizing for advancing civil rights for people of color in Seattle. #GangOfFour
