Michael Cohen, former attorney to President Trump, testifies before the House Oversight Committee in Washington on Wednesday. By Elizabeth A. Herbin-Triant Elizabeth A. Herbin-Triant is an assistant professor in the history department at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where she is completing a book on efforts to legislate residential segregation in early twentieth-century North Carolina.
Various policies dating back a century or more helped create impoverished, poorly maintained majority-black neighborhoods within America’s cities. Take segregation ordinances: Beginning in 1910, a number of southern cities began enacting ordinances excluding African Americans from owning property or residing in white neighborhoods.
In 1917, the Supreme Court declared laws requiring segregated neighborhoods unconstitutional in Buchanan v. Warley. The decision, however, hardly set back the project of keeping African Americans out of white neighborhoods.
We already knew it. I don’t like trump, but have a hard time believing anything Cohen says. Trump aligns himself with despicable people. Birds of a feather I guess!
Did a Democrat actually call an African American woman a prop? RashidaTlaib
Perspective: Michael Cohen a known liar & criminal stayed with the President for years? Why? If he was so racist. Facts are there are HUNDREDS OF PHOTOS of the President with well known black leaders over the years. He wasn't a racist then or is he now. FakeNews
...and, clearly Mark Meadows... MarkMeadows
Ignorance is tRUMPS only true ally.
