Source of the individual, institutional and structural racism definitions (Appendix A) and the six-step analysis used in lessons 1, 3 and 4. An archived copy; cite as a GARE publication.
Supports the internalized, interpersonal, institutional and structural levels described in lesson 1. Wording differs from GARE; cite whichever definition you use.
Supports the three-part disparate impact framework in lesson 3. Used for working-level understanding only; formal determinations belong to counsel and enforcement agencies.
Supports the history of covenants, redlining, federal mortgage practices and the Rondo freeway, and the finding that Minnesota's homeownership gap ranks among the largest nationally. The ranking reflects the article's date.
Supports the definition of racial covenants and the project's documentation of covenants in Minneapolis and Hennepin County.
Public source of current Minnesota homeownership rates by race. The course points learners to it rather than quoting figures; check the date of any number used.
Supports the toolkit criteria and core questions in lesson 4. The toolkit is now presented on the Office of Equity, Opportunity, and Accessibility site (mn.gov/oeoa/resources/equity-analysis-toolkit).
