1398: Gender Justice
Justice 40 Initiative, Racist Roadways Theory
Secretary Pete Buttigieg discusses the "Justice 40" initiative, which mandates that 40% of federal clean energy investments benefit "disadvantaged communities." He claims that some U.S. highways were built specifically to divide white and black neighborhoods and that some overpasses were designed low to prevent buses carrying minority children from reaching certain beaches. The hosts question the historical validity of these "racist design" claims.
