Redlining, a discriminatory practice of denying minority populations access to equal loans and housing opportunities, began in the 1930s and was made illegal in the 60s, but Milwaukee’s neighborhoods and segregation still reflect this piece fo history. We learn more about a project that’s examining the lasting effects of redlining in Wisconsin. We also discuss whether #metoo impacted the way men and women perceive sexual harassment and we take a look at top national news.
