Mitch Landrieu and a slew of advocates, historians, and experts help us better understand what systemic racism looks like in America today. By better understanding how we got here to this moment, we can better chart a path forward towards a more just, inclusive and equitable America for us all.

In this episode of Divided By Design, we look at the topic of housing and segregation, particularly in the south. The legacy of segregation is palpable across the American South and has enormous implications for how people lead their daily lives. From redlining and housing policy to physical separations by highways or railroad tracks and transit policies, physical separation is a real-life consequence of decades-old decisionmaking. This episode features Nathaniel Smith of the Partnership for Southern Equity, Dr. Temika Simmons of Delta State University, Danyelle Solomon of the Center for American Progress and more.

In this episode of Divided By Design, we discuss the history of democracy in America. The promise of America is that we all come to the table of democracy as equals. But our democracy is in crisis. Long before the 2020 election or the coronavirus pandemic, laws and processes have been in place to disenfranchise many Americans from exercising their right to vote. How did we get here? This episode features political leader, voting rights activist and New York Times bestselling author Stacey Abrams, National Urban League CEO Marc Morial and noted voting rights attorney and Democracy Docket publisher Marc Elias.
