Question

In 1950, Reggie and Teresa, an African American couple, purchased their first home. Though they had the savings, income, and credit to buy a house in a wealthy white neighborhood, they were prevented from their bank from receiving a mortgage for a home outside of an African American neighborhood. In their neighborhood, property values were lower, schools were poorly funded, public services (such as sidewalks, crosswalks, and street lights) were non-existent or poorly maintained, and police presence was high and hostile. The same year, Clifford and Judy, a white couple, purchased a house in the city's white-only section, where property values were high, schools were well-funded, public services were plentiful, and police officers were a friendly presence. Now that Reggie and Teresa and Clifford and Judy have passed away, their children are inheriting their property. What social phenomenon will make it likely that Reggie and Teresa's children will inherit less valuable property than Clifford and Judy's children?
