Hi all,

GGW has a post on a project that used public records to map out legal contracts that forbade black people, and sometimes Jews, from buying particular houses in DC --- or all houses in an entire neighborhood (like Mt. Pleasant).

This was such a great use of maps and public records that I wanted to share it here.

Here's a related WAMU article on one particular house's story.
