Policies such as the Fair Housing Act and the Voting Act were among the measures employed to fight discrimination. After 50 years the Post looks at the impact to the nation's diversity. This interactive map developed at the Washington Post invites you to look at diversity trends from 1990 to 2016 at both the national and city level.
