Searching for Covenants: 1 in every 3 deeds

Eek! It’s been SEVEN whole months since I last posted. I’m so sorry. It won't happen again. I will say it's been a rather busy 7 months: Talks to teachers, talks to the community, and talks at the Maupintown Film Festival.

This week I had the huge honor of taking students in @aschool_uva Prof. Erin Putalik’s course “The American House” on a walking tour of the Lewis Mountain neighborhood.
TOMORROW (Thursday—12/9/2021) at 7PM: Join Karen Waters-Wicks, Michele Claibourn, Ridge Schuyler, and Jordy Yager for a Zoom panel discussion on the Continuing Legacy of Exclusionary Housing Practices in Albemarle County. This is a part of the Community Read being put on by Albemarle’s Office of Equity & Inclusion Dr. Irtefa Binte-Farid. Find links to register for tomorrow’s Zoom event as well as the Community Read materials in the Bio.
A brief 9-part series on some of the intersections between Single Family Zoning, Racist Segregation, and Economic Apartheid.
Excited to announce the launch of Mapping Albemarle!! In partnership with the County’s Office of Equity and Inclusion & the County’s Planning Department, a team of all-stars led by My’Kal Lofton & Shirley Hamblet have been diligently combing through 150,000 pages of property records, pulling out every instance of a racistly restrictive covenant, and now we need your help! If you head to MappingAlbemarle.com and click the “Get Involved” button, you’ll be sent directly to our Zooniverse site where every racist deed is in need of review. None of this would be possible without your help, so THANK YOU for EVERY form your support takes. We at the @cvillejeffschool are enormously grateful.
