Washington Post points out, just a few years ago, black families were disproportionately
targeted by subprime mortgage lenders.
"In the '80s and '90s, the city was swept by a crack epidemic, mass incarceration, and a loss of blue-collar jobs.
"The decades prior saw tens of thousands of black Baltimore families displaced by the construction of new highways and housing projects under the guise of 'urban renewal.'

"'... if we go

"Life expectancy in 14 of Baltimore’s predominantly Black neighborhoods is now lower than North Korea’s, notes Jim Grossfeld in the American Prospect.
"This is true even though, as Grossfeld points out, Baltimore is home to Johns Hopkins, which, Grossfeld observes, 'Together with the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic…is part of the trinity of top-ranked US hospitals—a latter-day Lourdes to which sick people from around the world beat a path, hoping to find cures they’ll find nowhere else.'"
