Housing in Philadelphia: A History of Racial Segregation and a Discussion of How We Move Forward to Promote More Fair and Equitable Housing Policies

Please join us for this Continuing Legal Education program presented by the Klehr Harrison Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee in partnership with the Real Estate & Finance and Zoning & Land Use Practice Groups on Wednesday, June 16, 2021.

In this CLE, the panel will discuss how the history of both governmental policies and laws along with private sector conduct resulted in the racially segregated residential neighborhoods that endure today not only in Philadelphia but throughout the country. After exploring the modern-day consequences of these often hidden and misunderstood governmental and private actions, the panel will discuss how government, community development corporations and regular individuals can continue to redress and correct the legacy of discrimination in the housing market.

Attorney Brett Feldman will moderate the panel discussion featuring:

Suzanne Lanyi Charles
Assistant Professor, City and Regional Planning, Cornell University

Larry Santucci
Advisor and Research Fellow, Consumer Finance Institute, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia

Samantha Porter
