Racism In Columbus, Ohio
Racism is a prevailing issue in the city of Columbus, Ohio, United States. Minority groups may face some societal, health, and legal challenges not experienced by non-minority residents. Racism was recognized as a public health crisis in Columbus and its surrounding county, Franklin County, in 2020. History Columbus, Ohio was established with a significant white population. The Civil War prompted the move of black families from the South to northern cities, including Columbus. These families became relatively integrated into Columbus's population. However, as the Great Migration started to gain traction, the city's racial makeup was significantly affected, and white attitudes soured toward other races. A variety of occurrences between 1865 and the early 1900s contributed to the changing population of Columbus and the subsequent degradation of racial attitudes.

Urban Renewal
Urban renewal (also called urban regeneration in the United Kingdom and urban redevelopment in the United States) is a program of land redevelopment often used to address urban decay in cities. Urban renewal involves the clearing out of blighted areas in inner cities to clear out slums and create opportunities for higher class housing, businesses, and other developments. A primary purpose of urban renewal is to restore economic viability to a given area by attracting external private and public investment and by encouraging business start-ups and survival. It is controversial for its eventual displacement and destabilization of low-income residents, including African Americans and other marginalized groups. Historical origins Modern attempts at renewal began in the late 19th century in developed nations, and experienced an intense phase in the late 1940s under the rubric of reconstruction. The process has had a major impact on many urban landscapes and has played an impo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
