Later today Kettering will showcase the “UnDesign the Redline” exhibit.

This exhibit dives into structural racism, social issues, and how communities were impacted by redlining — a practice that embedded segregation and inequality into city development.

The exhibit will be on display at Fairmont Performing Arts Center off Shroyer Road in Kettering, according to a release.
