Dr. Vanessa Tyler talks with the president of the ACLU and associate dean at New York Universtiy School of Law Deborah Archer. Deborah has written a book titled "Dividing Lines: How Transportation Infrastructure Reinforces Racial Inequality" that details the role race has played in the U.S. transportation infrastructure over the years. After the success of the Civil Rights movement, officials turned to less obvious means to keep Americans divided. Through city planning, highway building and property evaluations, city officials used these tools to suppress Black communities and restrict economic growth.
