REDLINING ON RAIR

These images layer, merge, and blur archival documentation of 1937 redlining practices as enacted within the area RAIR is now located, drawn from the online database Mapping Inequality: Redlining in New Deal America, with current Google Maps and Google Street View screenshots of the RAIR location as it stands today. With a long and complex legacy of historically oppressed peoples being pushed into proximity with Superfund sites across the United States, these materials provide a view of a history of the land that stands at the volatile intersection of race and class.
