who wrote about brooklyn, new york, and showed the ways that racial ideology played a role in brooklyn's social history. wilder provided us with this holc map. if you can notice, can't see it too good but right in the center, right around here, right by the 1930s, this is what becomes the black section of brooklyn. this is kind of what becomes the short-hand term of bedford stuyvesant. its holc grade is a d, a lot of these areas in northern central brooklyn which have d grades are areas where there are already african-american populations so. when the homeowners loan corporation, a government underwriting agency which makes it possible for people who are not homeowners to acquire loans to get homes, or for people who are homeowners to refinance and improve their homes, this government program downgrades predominantly black areas and prevents them from being viable investments. prevents them from being viable investments. did the holc send like ku klux klan members into bedford say to ves
