Presenter Jenny Barnett of the African American Museum of Iowa will explore the history of redlining in Iowa at the Sioux City Public Museum. Redlining is the systematic denial of various services by federal and local government agencies and the private sector to residents of specific neighborhoods. Black populations in seven Iowa cities -Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Sioux City, Dubuque, Davenport, Des Moines, and Waterloo – were subject to redline mapping. Attendees are invited to bring their own lunches to the free presentation.
