Antoine Thompson, national executive director of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB), and Amy Shaftlein, executive director of United Housing,  visit Memphis Metropolis to talk about the impacts of discrimination and public policy on black homeownership, and how strategies like down payment assistance and updated credit criteria can help.  Later in the program, commentator Cole Bradley and Emily talk about the impact of this disparity on Memphis neighborhoods,  the high percentage of homes owned by outside investors, and how neighborhoods like Orange Mound and Klondike Smokey City are working to take back control of their land and increase homeownership.
