The Reach of Black Lives Matter Legislation. Highway Edition.

What’s happening? In what sounds a lot like Season 2 of True Detective- the highways system was built by taking land from people who were Black or minorities or disadvantaged.

Why is this important? The new Biden infrastructure building plan looks to correct the wrongs of the past.

How will this be important? Some say “Our transportation systems have really led to racial disparities and discrimination” local governments, state governments and the federal government are all identifying ways to change that.
