Unjust Deeds Traveling Exhibit & Program
For most of the 20th century, racial covenants were an insidious tool for racially restricting home sales and segregating residential neighborhoods. Racial covenants became illegal with the passage of the Fair Housing Act in 1968. Although no longer valid or enforceable, they can still be found in the land deeds of almost every American community, including Dane County, and their impacts are pervasive and still with us today.
Presented by Executive Director of the Dane County Historical Society Rick Bernstein, this program will explore the history of racial covenants in Dane County and nationwide. Through the month of February, you can also visit E.D. Locke to view the accompanying traveling exhibit. This exhibit and program have been made possible by the generous support of Dane Arts, Evjue Foundation, Beyond the Page, the National Endowment for the Humanities, Madison Community Foundation, and Dane County Historical Society.
Light refreshments will be provided. Registration is requested and can be found at mcfarlandlibrary.org.
