On April 27th, 2015, Baltimore experienced its worst civil unrest in over forty years. Though images of fire and destruction often punctuated national media coverage, the unrest raised issues of persistent inequality and racial discrimination to the forefront of local and national discourse. A year later, the 21st Century Cities Initiative at Johns Hopkins University hosts a series of community conversations to reflect on the historical and contextual origins of this unrest. This is Redlining, a place to reflect and act on the geographies of exclusion in Baltimore City.

The Redlining series launches a future-focused conversation about systems of inequality reproduced by racial segregation, and the ways American cities might dismantle these systems. The series brings together academics, civil servants, community organizations, and local artists and musicians to start a conversation about what exclusion means to Baltimore, and what we as a community can do to address it.

Brought to you by the 21st Century Cities Initiative at Johns Hopkins University and the generous support of Peter Marber.
