Green, Blue, Yellow, Red: Mapping Spatial Injustice.

The article "Green, Blue, Yellow, Red: Mapping Spatial Injustice" discusses how redlining maps from the 1930s can be used as anchor points to explore spatial injustice from various disciplinary perspectives. These maps, created by the U.S. Home Owners' Loan Corporation, codified discriminatory racial geographies by denying mortgages to Black, immigrant, and other non-dominant communities. The article suggests using redlining maps in classrooms to contextualize historical marginalization and explore the impacts of spatial injustice, such as the construction and effects of interstate highways on marginalized communities. It also highlights the importance of analyzing data related to unhealthy air quality and health impacts in redlined areas to understand the social and historical foundations of spatial injustice.
