Mapping Prejudice

Mapping Prejudice is based at the John R. Borchert Map Library of the University of Minnesota Libraries.[3] The project searches property records in Hennepin County, identifies racial covenants that were made in order to stop non-Whites from purchasing certain properties, and plots the results of them on digital maps.[2] Their focus began with Minneapolis and it grew to include Ramsey County, Minnesota and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Founded in 2016, Mapping Prejudice was inspired by work at universities[4] in Seattle[5] and Virginia.[6]
