For generations, redlining shaped the social and economic landscape of the South, restricting Black communities’ access to housing, jobs, and even green spaces. In this special conversation, we sit down with Joshua Jenkins of the National Parks Conservation Association to explore how these discriminatory policies not only limited opportunities but also deepened environmental injustices. From segregated neighborhoods to the ongoing fight for equitable access to parks and public land, this discussion unpacks the legacy of redlining—and what we can do to break these systemic barriers today.
