Poverty, Health, Welfare and Housing documents preview

Discrimination is a large, complex issue that African Americans have had to deal with for decades, and certainly throughout the period of time covered by the many primary sources in this resource. It is therefore useful to view where and how discrimination plays a part when it comes to major social issues such as health, welfare, housing and poverty. These four all feed into one another, with discrimination often underpinning how many African Americans were treated when it came to buying a house or trying to get treatment for an illness.
