Smoky Hill Museum

The idea was to make homeownership more accessible and attainable for more people.

So, how did it go so wrong for so many?

Join Marie Johnson as she discusses redlining, what it was, and how it impacted and still impacts communities. From across the nation to home, redlining has left its mark in numerous ways. Johnson is a graduate of Bethany College and a veteran. She is an independent local historian who has written award-winning historical scholarly papers and is a sought-after public speaker.

This free presentation is offered by the Smoky Hill Museum on November 7, 5:30-6:30 p.m. You can enjoy the presentation in person at the Museum or from the comfort of your own home via Zoom. Register for your Zoom link at www.smokyhillmuseum.org.
