Texas wants its big highways even bigger

Since the Federal Highway Act, states across the nation have conceded a lot of land to cars and roads. Neighborhoods were destroyed and communities have been displaced as a result. The state of Michigan is working on a plan to redevelop the one-mile strip of I-375 in an effort to undo some of those harms. In her new book "City Limits" writer and author Megan Kimble details how Texas officials are doing the opposite by expanding them, despite a similar history of displacement. Kimble joins the show to discuss how Texas became so invested in its highways and how the construction will impact its residents.

Hosted by Stephen Henderson, Created Equal is about the promise of opportunity and the challenge of inequality from the city that built America — Detroit.
