South Side: Portrait of
Segregation
7 p.m. Feb. 22, Wilmette
Library, 1242 Wilmette
Ave. WBEZ reporter
Natalie Moore provides a
contemporary snapshot of
a fundamental issue facing
her native city today:
segregation on the South
Side. While mayors Richard
M. Daley and Rahm
Emanuel have touted Chicago
as a “world-class
city,” it remains one of
the most segregated cities
in America. And while it
would be easy to think of
a city with a billion-dollar
park, Michelin-rated restaurants,
waterfront views,
world-class shopping, and
a thriving theater scene as
a model for other metropolitan
areas, underneath
the shiny façade lurks the
reality of deeply-rooted
and destructive racial segregation.
Copies will be
available for purchase.
