  • Reparations: Redressing Institutional Racism and Redlining

    Evanston, IL
    Other

    This document outlines Evanston, Illinois's reparations framework for addressing institutional racism and redlining. As of 2019, Evanston's Black population comprises 16.6% (12,409 of 74,756 residents) yet received only 6.3% of new mortgages (95 of 1,487 loans), while Black mortgage applicants faced a 33.18% denial rate compared to 15.39% for White applicants. The document cites national homeownership disparities—44% for Black Americans versus 73.7% for White Americans as of Q4 2019—and argues that equal housing laws alone cannot redress historical wealth inequality stemming from slavery and government-sanctioned discrimination. The document proposes that real property ownership as a primary wealth-building mechanism requires reparations-based interventions to resolve the racial wealth gap.
