        They were actively redlined neighborhoods, often in sundown towns, and loans were given that excluded black people on the basis of their race (see also: the GI bill that excluded black veterans). Not to mention the black neighborhoods and economic centers within cities that were bulldozed and paved over with highways, especially highway interchanges, in order to facilitate this ‘white flight’ from the cities.
