This week, Dr. Christy Clark-Pujara appeared on PBS Wisconsin’s “Why Race Matters” segment in an episode on the history of Black Midwesterners before the Great Migration. “If you wanted to understand wealth gaps among African Americans and white Americans, you need to understand history,” Dr. Clark-Pujara notes. “If you want to understand why Milwaukee looks the way it does, you need to understand redlining and housing discrimination. This doesn’t just come out of nowhere.”
