In Dividing Lines: How Transportation Infrastructure Reinforces Racial Inequality, Deborah N. Archer reveals how America’s transportation infrastructure – highways, roads, bus routes, even sidewalks – became tools to sustain segregation after Jim Crow. From multilane roads blocking access to white neighborhoods to suburbs designed to exclude, Archer traces a hidden architecture of inequality while offering a vision for a just system. Joining Archer in conversation is Oscar Corral, documentary filmmaker and co-director and co-producer of INTERSTATE.
