The Undesign the Redline Exhibit is a blueprint for deconstructing our most deep, systemic and entangled housing and public policy crises. The Undesign the Redline exhibit is presented as part of the Addressing Redlining through Service Learning and Community Engagement initiative spearheaded by Terri L. Crawford, JD, and will be housed at the CEC. Undesign the Redline explores the history of structural racism and inequality from 1938 Redlining maps until today, and how the community at large can come together to undesign these systems with intentionality.
