People of color would often be denied loans due to being "classified as risky investments because of their race, ethnicity, and immigration status... legally prohibited [Black] people from buying properties in certain areas, and intimidation and violence were commonly used to maintain segregated neighborhoods." (2021, Bramhall, Why Does Segregation Between School Districts Matter for Education Equity?)
