Overview
Redlining is a practice in which financial services are denied or limited to neighborhoods with high minority populations, often resulting in denial of credit, insurance, and healthcare. This practice has been prominent in the United States, particularly against African Americans and Mexican Americans. Companies like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and JPMorgan Chase have been accused of redlining, while organizations like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have fought against it.
