Question 4 • Ethnic Studies Edge IC

What contributed to the formation of ghettos in the post-World War II era?

Answer
A
Black veterans moved into the suburbs.
B
Black veterans were often refused loans.
C
The GI Bill provided veterans with benefits.
D
Veterans moved away from the suburbs.

Explanation

Black veterans were often denied home loans and other opportunities to buy homes outside segregated neighborhoods. This restricted where they could live and contributed to the concentration of Black residents in urban ghettos. The GI Bill offered benefits, but unequal access to them—not the benefits alone—helped sustain segregation.
