Dates & Times:02/24/2012 :: 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM Reporter and best-selling author Antero Pietila discusses how redlining shaped neighborhoods, especially so in Baltimore and other urban cities across the country. Baltimore was infamous for its overall discrimination; in 1910 it became the first American city to segregate each residential block by race. It was a border city but more segregated than many cities in the Deep South. Presenter: Antero Pietila.
