摘要

20世纪40年代至70年代期间,数百万非洲裔美国人从农村地区迁往城市。在50年代和60年代,政府实施了城市重建项目,拆除了不足的住房。随后,私人土地开发商应该购买大量补贴的土地,为那些因拆迁而流离失所的人建造经济适用房。相反,土地开发商为中产阶级客户建造了住房和购物区。最终,更多的经济适用房被摧毁,而不是建造,进一步加剧了城市住房危机。在推动为居住在城市的非裔美国人提供更多住房之后,联邦住房管理局和私营公司看到了增加利润的机会。他们知道,维持种族隔离最终将有利于房地产行业,进而有利于整个经济。他们还意识到,扩大非洲裔美国人的住房机会也会起到同样的作用。总的来说,联邦住房管理局和私人公司制定了一些措施,使非洲裔美国人难以进入白人居住区,这增加了从经济上剥削寻求更好住房的非洲裔美国人的能力。

Unfair Housing
The Great Migration saw millions of African Americans move from rural areas to cities between the 1940s and 1970s. The existence of segregated housing meant that African Americans were forced into the most impoverished residences. In the 50s and 60s, the government implemented urban renewal projects in which inadequate housing was destroyed. Subsequently, private land developers were supposed to purchase heavily subsidized land and build affordable housing for those displaced by the demolitions. Instead, land developers built housing and shopping areas for middle class clientele. Ultimately, more affordable housing was destroyed than was built, further contributing to the urban housing crisis. After the push to provide more housing for African Americans living in cities, the FHA and private companies saw an opportunity to increase profits. They knew that maintaining segregation would ultimately benefit the housing industry and in turn, the economy at large. They also realized expanding housing opportunities for African Americans would do the same. Overall, the FHA and private companies enacted practices that kept entry into White suburbs difficult for African Americans, which increased the ability to financially exploit African Americans looking for better housing.
