In "Lexington, Kentucky: Segregated by Design," Segregated Lexington documents and share examples of local policies and actions that perpetuated segregation, including racially restrictive deed covenants, redlining, steering by realtors, planning and zoning practices, and destruction of neighborhoods through "urban renewal."  Also, the ongoing impact those past policies have on our community today.

You also may want to watch Segregated By Design, an 18-minute video that describes how governments at each level created and maintained segregation in the USA. Segregated Lexington’s presentation brings that information closer to home, with specific examples from Lexington-Fayette County. We will show this video during the presentation as well.
