4:30Now PlayingAs 2020 candidates continue to spar over issues such as universal health care and foreign policy, Bernie Sanders is the only candidate to include ending housing segregation "as a political objective," says Princeton University professor Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor. "No one else talks about that. People accept the segregation in our cities almost as a natural phenomenon of life, almost as an expression of nature itself." In her new book, "Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Home Ownership," Taylor explores how discrimination persisted in the real estate industry following the 1968 Fair Housing Act. Despite outlawing segregation at the time, it failed to address the circumstances that allowed these practices to continue into the present day. Decades later, she views Sanders's policies as a means of "rigorous, aggressive enforcement, and ruthless punishment for those within real estate and banking who continue to engage in these practices."
