The Story of the Contract Buyers League

Define redlining in your own words.

Why where these contracts unfair to Black homebuyers?

• They paid double what their homes were worth

• They didn't build equity over time

• They could only buy small homes

• They could be evicted if they missed just one payment

How do you think this "race tax" could affect Black people as they attempt to build generational wealth?

What was the goal of the Contract Buyers League?

• To encourage banks to increase interest rates for loans.
• To advocate for fair housing and combat discriminatory lending practices.
• To support the construction of luxury housing only.
• To promote home ownership without any regulations.
