Housing discrimination in the mid-20th century severely limited African Americans' opportunities for wealth accumulation, perpetuating economic and racial disparities. Practices like redlining, restrictive covenants, and predatory lending excluded Black families from homeownership, while segregation in public housing and systemic disinvestment worsened conditions. Despite violence and institutional barriers, African Americans resisted through community innovation, creating transportation services and advocating for civil rights, culminating in the Fair Housing Act of 1968.
