Free the Deeds

A Minneapolis-wide public project that illuminates our common history and offers a path to repair.

Co-created with Diver Van Avery + Miré Regulus, Free the Deeds is now an initiative of Longfellow Community Council. We invite every property that had a racial covenant on it to display a lawn sign in its front yard to inspire learning and conversation. You are also invited to increase access to home ownership for people historically prevented from buying homes through racist practices and policies by supporting African American Community Land Trust home buyers with down payment assistance funds.
