Learn About Racially Restrictive Covenants in Wake County and the Fallout That Exists Today

Thursday | May 22
6:30 – 8:00 p.m. | C200 + Zoom option

Better Together 4 NC welcomes Lisa Boccetti and Bob Williams for a discussion about the Racially Restrictive Covenants Project they spearheaded. The project’s goal was to catalog and map “restrictive covenants” embedded in legal documents associated with hundreds of properties. These covenants imposed racial restrictions on who could buy or live on certain lands in Wake County. They developed a searchable, interactive map that raises awareness and promotes understanding of how these practices continue to impact our neighborhoods and the community today. You will be able to see if there are racially restrictive covenants associated with your home.
