Justice InDeed is a community collaborative project that seeks to better understand and repair the harms done by racially restrictive covenants in Washtenaw County. We recently completed a transcription project where more than 1000 volunteers reviewed more than 12,000 Washtenaw Country property records for details about racial covenants.

We’ll post updates on our website in the coming weeks, but please sign up for our mailing list below to be informed about the results of this effort and other next steps from Justice InDeed.
