Preferred term

African Americans in suburbia  

Definition(s)

  • For African Americans and other minority groups, where to live is an issue with multiple considerations. Although the 1968 Fair Housing Act explicitly outlawed redlining (discriminatory practices in real estate), there are still reports of real estate agents purposefully steering minorities into specific and often racially segregated neighborhoods.
