A New Way To De-Segregate Housing In America (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Many low income neighborhoods in American cities are almost 100 percent minority. The 1968 Fair Housing Act was supposed to set us on a new course. It failed. Now, the Obama administration has stepped in, saying that the status quo is no longer acceptable, and that the government needs to take on a bigger role in ending de facto segregation. Some people call president Obama’s new rules “social engineering. Others say they’re past due. This hour, On Point: we look at new rules to fight an old battle, persistent segregation in America’s neighborhoods. / Tom Ashbrook
