“The story of Black homeownership in the U.S. is a case where they get access and the access is wiped out, and then they get access and the access is wiped out,” says Beryl Satter, author of "Family Properties" @USATODAY usatoday.com/in-depth/money/…

'We are a broken people': The importance of Black homeownership and why the wealth gap is widening

The homeownership gap between white and Black Americans is wider than it was before the Fair Housing Act was signed into law in 1968.

Although Indiana law bans landlords from retaliating against tenants, lawyers and tenants say it happens all the time. I talked to Ms. Walker, who's been to the ER multiple times due to toxic mold in her apartment. She's now fighting against an eviction. indystar.com/story/news/real…
A tenant reported mold to health department. Her landlord evicted her; Indiana law helped.

A tenant said she is a victim of retaliation. Although illegal, lawyers say it still happens.

The three men that killed Ahmaud Arbery have now been convicted for murder. Remember that it took *four* prosecutors to get here. The first two declined to press charges despite video evidence of the shooting. This verdict is progress, but there’s still work to be done.

Overcrowded. Understaffed. For the last decade, 84% of Indiana jails have repeatedly violated state safety standards — why? indystar.com/in-depth/news/i…

Indiana’s jail safety standards are effectively meaningless. Here’s who is to blame.

Since 2010, the state of Indiana has allowed 84% of jails to repeatedly violate safety standards, including crowding and understaffing.
