Thank you so much for writing this. You are one of a handful of folks who is aware of this, and one of fewer who seem to care. Reading The Power Broker opened my eyes year ago, and anyone who cares to read about highway planning and construction knows that it's true. I subscribe to a couple of crazy right-wing websites specifically to answer their posted craziness with facts. One of the subjects they absolutely love to ridicule is "racist roads" or "racist bridges." As I've explained, slabs of concrete aren't racist, but the folks who planned where they were placed were. Fifty claps for you, Jeffrey.
