Additional Info
This six-minute episode of Adam Ruins Everything, “The Disturbing History of the Suburbs,” uses
the metaphor of a Monopoly-like game to quickly (and somewhat humorously) explore the history of
housing segregation. It also explains the connection between housing and school segregation, with a guest appearance by New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones.
