The Trump administration's efforts to dismantle civil rights protections under the pretense of opposing DEI initiatives have significant implications for American infrastructure. The 2021 Infrastructure Law aimed to mitigate racial inequalities while improving highways and roads. However, Trump halted funding immediately, as he believed the law imposed a social agenda. By promoting increased highway construction without safeguards, the administration risks perpetuating historical patterns of community division as exemplified by a South Carolina road expansion threatening a Black community's heritage.
President Trump's actions against the Infrastructure Law could exacerbate racial inequalities by prioritizing highway construction over civil rights protections in our communities.
The bipartisan Infrastructure Law aimed to address racial inequality, but President Trump restarted outdated trends that could further divide communities rather than connect them.
