Event Description

We know that racially restrictive covenants were placed on residential properties in Arlington County before 1968 – what we don’t know is when they first appeared or exactly where these restricted parcels of land were located. We will take a closer look at the historical context in which racial covenants emerged and share the initial phase of our research that involves mapping these land records from 1900 to 1968.

Presenters

  1. Samia Byrd, Deputy County Manager, Chief Race and Equity Officer – Arlington County Government
  2. Janine DeWitt, Ph.D. Professor Sociology – Marymount University
  3. Kristin Neun, MA, JD, Community Educator – Arlington
