Buchanan v. Wharley (1917) rejected racial zoning but otherwise stood silent on land use practices and policies that (re)made American cities along racial lines. Do you agree? Strong responses will incorporate and develop specific details from Silver’s “The Racial Origins of Zoning in American Cities,” Beryl Satter’s “Family Property,” Jackson’s “The Cost of Good Intentions,” James W. Loewen, “The Great Retreat,” and Keanga-Yamahtta Taylor’s Race for Profit. After the Supreme Court ruled in 1969 that “All deliberate speed” was no longer constitutional, opponents of racial integration acted to reassert racial separation through busing, school funding, and zoning decisions in the 1970s. Do you agree? Strong responses will incorporate and develop specific details from Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education (1969), Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education (1971), Milliken v. Bradley (1974), San Antonio Independent School v Rodriquez (1973), Village of Belle Terre v. Boraas (1974) (Marshall’s Dissent). Scholars suggest that a “Broken Window” approach to policing diminishes our ability to understand cities and the people who live in them. Do you agree? Strong responses will incorporate and develop specific detail from Ansfield’s “The Broken Windows of the Bronx,” Carter’s “Economic Diversity in Low Status Communities,” and Duneier’s “Sidewalk Sleeping.”
