Pete Buttigieg Declares ‘There Is Racism Physically Built’ Into the Nation’s Infrastructure

April 7, 2021

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is declaring “there is racism physically built” into the nation’s infrastructure.

During an interview with theGrio’s April Ryan, Buttigieg suggested several overpasses and roadways were built in a way to racially divide communities.

“Well if you’re in Washington, I’m told that the history of that highway is one that was built at the expense of communities of color in the D.C. area. There are stories and I think Philadelphia and Pittsburgh [and] in New York, Robert Moses famously saw through the construction of a lot of highways,” Buttigieg said.
