Place students into small groups, and instruct each group to use the internet to find answers to the following research questions:

• What was redlining? Explain it in your own words.
• How common was redlining? Find some statistics to understand the scope of the problem.
• What were two effects of redlining?
• Go to FiveThirtyEight’s website about redlining in several U.S. cities. As a group, pick one city and list three facts about redlining in that city.

Each group should make a pamphlet that argues against redlining in their chosen city. The pamphlet should include:

• An explanation of what redlining is and how it has impacted the chosen city
• Statistics related to redlining in the chosen city
• A clear argument against redlining with at least three pieces of evidence to support it

Have groups share their pamphlets with the class and conclude with a class discussion:

• To what extent did the Great Migration improve the lives of Black migrants from 1900 to 1960?
