I've been going through some old slides for a talk I'm giving today about the history of land use restrictions and noticed a gap between Jim Crow segregation practices and Hoover's nationwide promotion of exclusionary zoning. I've created a new slide to talk about that jump focusing on the disastrous Mississippi flood of 1927 and Robert Moton's key role in the cover up. #flooding #USHistory #zoning #RobertMoton #HerbertHoover #RedCross https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/flood-moton-cac/
