August 11: The Evolving Practice of Racial Exclusion: How White Minnesota Residents Adapted to State and Federal Court Decisions and Legislation During the 20th Century

Whites living in Minnesota during the 20th century had many ways to exclude African Americans from their neighborhoods, towns, and cities, but over time the legal methods they employed were affected by various state and federal court decisions and legislation. Sometimes the decisions and laws affirmed and strengthened the tools Whites had and sometimes they weakened or banned them altogether. White residents adapted to this shifting legal terrain, however, and managed to keep their communities racially homogenous, or largely so, and that is part of the historical background for understanding the state's racial disparities in the present day.
