The discriminatory actions of developers, realtors, bankers, and politicians created the segregated landscape of race, poverty, and opportunity in Detroit and southeast Michigan. Through historical maps, data, and images from the 1930s to present day, this multimedia website tells the story of how Detroit came to be divided.
