ATX Together: Roots of Racism in Austin

Courteous discussions surrounding the issues that impact Austin and how we can work together to improve civil rights and civic engagement in our community.

ATX Together: Roots of Racism in Austin

Season 2021 Episode 112 | 28m 56s | CC

Austin’s 1928 Master Plan is the heart of institutionalized racism that forced all Black people to move east of East Avenue, where I-35 stands today. Judy Maggio talks with UT’s Dr. Kevin Foster, former Austin City Council Member Ora Houston, and community mobility advocate and attorney Yasmine Smith about how the plan continues to shape our city’s racial divide almost 100 years later.
