Mapping Prejudice Transcription Session – The Story of the Tilsenbilt Homes

Wednesday Evening

In Minneapolis, Black entrepreneur Archie Givens recruited developer Edward Tilsen in 1954 to build some of the nation’s first privately developed open housing in the entire United States. Learn about the legacy of Archie Givens while helping us build out the map of racially restrictive covenants! We’re featuring deeds from Dakota County, Minnesota, Anoka County, Minnesota, and from our collaborators in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Our team will walk you through the process step-by-step so that you can join the more than 8,000 volunteers contributing to this project.

The Redress Movement Community Workshop For Mapping Racism And Resistance In Milwaukee County Project

Collaborating with Walnut Way Conservation Corp and The Redress Movement, the Mapping Racism and Resistance in Milwaukee County team will discuss the project about the history and impact of racist language in real estate covenants in Milwaukee, and how that research takes shape using tools like digitization, OCR, and mapping to surface patterns of racism embedded in where we live, as well as the ways that Black organizations articulated their claims for racial and spatial justice. Meanwhile, our team will walk you through the process step-by-step so that you can join the more than 8,000 volunteers contributing to this project.
