Lorenzo and Gwen Mitchell are an interracial family who are homeowners in Denver, CO. Lorenzo is Black and Gwen is white. They obtained two separate home appraisals of $405,000 and $550,000.
The difference?
Whether Lorenzo or Gwen was home with the appraiser.
Congratulations to Jam Hammond the newly appointed @PghCHR Executive Director!
FHP looks forward to collaborations that combats housing discrimination in @Pittsburgh in accomplishing our shared goal of all City residents having true housing choice! #SteelCityFairHousing
At public vote on Thursday, January 14, PghCHR elected Jam Hammond as its next Executive Director. “As a person of color, as a trans person, as a citizen of the world and of Pittsburgh, I am so excited to play a larger role in our civil rights journey together,” said Hammond.
“Last night America was shocked by a senseless act of violence…When the Nation so urgently needs the healing balm of unity, a brutal wound on our conscience forces upon us all this question: What more can I do to achieve brotherhood and equality among all Americans?”
In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today we remember his commitment.
In 1966, the Fair Housing Act was introduced to Congress in large part due to Dr. King.
In 1968, the Fair Housing Act was passed into law in a direct response to Dr. King’s assassination.
An estimated 15% of #PA renters will face eviction in January 2021 as reported by @char_keith of @SpotlightPA.
Remember renters are disproportionately Black, Latino, people with disabilities, households with children, and other Protected Classes based on gaps in homeownership.
In 1937 the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation classified the Hill District as "Hazardous" because of a "Concentration of negro and undesirables."
As a result, the Hill District received NO residential mortgages, construction or renovation.
Why is the home ownership gap worse for Black Americans now than it was during segregation?
If you don’t know, now you know:
The US Department of Transportation recently defined that on airlines that service animals are defined as a dog, with no breed or type restrictions that are trained to perform a task for a person with a disability.
The data is indisputable. Western @PennsylvaniaGov is racially segregated.
In 1933, at least 46 Black Pennsylvanians in Industry were beaten, extorted, kidnapped, and deported by police led by Beaver County. The Black Pennsylvanians were new residents from other states.

Peters Township School District’s marching band wore blackface to its school’s football game against Woodland Hills.
Peters Township is 0.6% Black.
Woodland Hills School District is 27.6% Black.
Housing discrimination has left our schools segregated.
The Pinedas, a Latina and Filipina couple with minor aged children who live in Louisville, KY have had racial slurs painted on their sidewalk, cat litter put in their fountain, and death threats with bullets left in their mailbox.
Their attacker? Their neighbor.
“Pittsburgh is a focal point for white supremacy and extremists, an FBI analyst said…” in a recent symposium on domestic terrorism at Duquesne University.
“Extremist groups are active here in holding events and recruiting.”
"It’s a common misconception: Black people would be wealthier if they just didn’t spend so much on clothes, sneakers and cars;
Black families’ median wealth is $24,100;
White families’ median wealth is $188,200”
@SingletaryM lays out the math of systemic racism.
