""Negro Housing,"" a report by the Committee on Negro Housing, chaired by Nannie H. Burroughs, offers a crucial snapshot of housing conditions and challenges faced by African Americans in the early 20th century. Originally presented at the President's Conference on Home Building and Home Ownership in 1931, this document sheds light on the discriminatory practices and systemic inequalities that shaped residential patterns and limited access to quality housing for Black communities.
This report provides valuable insights into the social, economic, and political factors that contributed to the housing crisis within the African American population. It addresses issues such as overcrowding, substandard living conditions, and the impact of racial segregation on community development. By examining these historical realities, ""Negro Housing"" serves as an important resource for understanding the ongoing struggle for fair housing and equal opportunities.
