Description

An exhibition examining the social impacts of redlining upon communities in Hampton Roads. Created by Dr. Johnny Finn, a faculty member at Christopher Newport University, Living Apart will be presented in the William Grace Community Gallery. Dr. Finn's exhibition examines the origin and ongoing impacts of redlining, which was the discriminatory practice of geographically demarcating Black and Brown communities, which were then deemed unworthy of investment by the government and other lenders.
