"Black renters face a disproportionate share of evictions. Less than one in every five renters in America is Black (18.8%), but over half of all eviction filings are against Black renters (51.1%)."
While it is now illegal not to rent to someone based on race, it is widely acceptable to discriminate based on past evictions--who are disproportionately Black women.
Securing fair housing for all is essential for social justice.
