A Reckoning with History: The Mapping Prejudice Project (Marcy 55+)


Lifelong Learning 55+ / Adventures in Learning -
Lifelong Learning 55+ Spring 2026

Join staff from Mapping Prejudice who will guide you through the step-by-step process of reading property records to identify and document racial covenants. Racial covenants were clauses inserted into property deeds to restrict people who were not White from buying or occupying homes. Deemed illegal through the enactment of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, these covenants are a classic manifestation of structural racism. Help us make and map history.

This program is cosponsored by Minneapolis Community Education and the Hennepin County Library. 

Note: Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Participants are asked to pick the price that they can pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When participants sign up at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable.

Refund Policy

Refunds (minus a $5 transaction fee) are given if you call or email at least three business days before a class begins. Full refunds will be given for any class that needs to be canceled by the site.
