This feature shows historic plats/neighborhoods that included race-based covenants that stated who could or could not live on that specific plats. In the case of Jefferson County, this took the form of excluding based on race or expressly only permitting those of 'Caucasian' race to own, use, or occupy buildings or property. These race-based covenants were written in the 1910's through 1950 when they were made illegal by the Supreme Court. |
