As we celebrate Black History Month, MAR's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee is partnering with Mapping Prejudice to bring this course to members of MAR!

Mapping Prejudice is a team of geographers, historians, digital humanists, and activists working to illustrate the history of racial discrimination in Hennepin County. They are mapping racially restrictive covenants to show that large swaths of our residential communities were protected for white households, contributing to our current racial wealth gap. We encourage you to learn more here and join us on February 17.
