Presented in partnership with Equal Justice Needham Register here.

On the anniversary of the signing of this law, Judi will help us better understand the history of housing segregation and redlining in our country, the events that led to creation of this landmark statute, the progress that has taken place since that time, as well as the continued systemic barriers that prevent so many from achieving equal access to a safe, decent, and affordable home.
