• Dividing the City: Race Restrictions and the Segregation of Iowa Cities, Colin Gordon

  This presentation draws on new research in Iowa property records to examine the use, scope, and impact of private racial restrictions on real estate development and sales in five Iowa cities (Des Moines, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, and Iowa City). Such restrictions were widely employed, especially during the First Great Migration (1910-1940) to limit the local housing opportunities of African American renters and owners. 2025-08-25 14:00:00 -0500
