The Digital Redline: Building Equity for Black Communities
Despite the historical injustice of redlining denying them essential resources, Black communities today face disproportionately limited broadband access. This "digital redlining" manifests in lack of infrastructure, unaffordable plans, and limited digital literacy, further widening the educational, economic, and health gaps. Black communities are actively bridging the divide through local initiatives, but lasting change requires collaboration from ISPs, policymakers, and targeted government programs. Dismantle the legacy of redlining and building a future where affordable, high-speed internet empowers every household.
