The project maps racial covenants, clauses that were inserted into property deeds to keep people who were not White from buying or occupying homes. The mapping page has an animation that show the growth of these covenants in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area from 4 in 1910 to over 32,000 in 1963.
