- Nathan Denzin: Historical wrongs like
blatant housing discrimination in Wisconsin.
- I am sorry.
We don't feel that we can rent to colored people.
- Nathan: The Federal Fair Housing Act
is supposed to protect renters or buyers
from discrimination based on a number
of protected classes, including race.

- Nathan: Despite the work of WHEDA
and the Progress Center,
Madison says everyone has to buy in
to make Wisconsin a more equitable place.
- So these visions that Black folks have
for their lives as Wisconsinites,
'cause we too are from Wisconsin and we too live here,
that you want to also be part of this vision
and see this vision expanded.
- Nathan: While that vision might take years
to be realized, Madison says the work starts today.
For Here & Now, I'm Nathan Denzin.
