6. The Genesis of the Mortgage
Industry: HOLC
"Confidential Residential Security Maps for all major
U.S. cities were prepared by the Home Owners' Loan
Corporation (HOLC), with special assistance from
"competent local real estate brokers and mortgage
lenders, believed to represent a fair and composite
opinion of the best qualified local people".
Quote from "HOLC Division of Research and
Statistics with Cooperation of the Appraisal
Department, San Diego, October 20, 1936." (part of
the San Diego redlining files)

14. Upstander
An “upstander” is someone who recognizes when
something is wrong and acts to make it right. When an
upstander sees or hears about someone being bullied,
they speak up. Being an upstander is being a hero: we
are standing up for what is right and doing our best to
help support and protect someone who is being hurt.
