A must see, and what should be required viewing in history classes. We must understand what our city and nation has done if we are committed to correct today’s issues in front of us. “Shame of Chicago, Shame of the Nation, a docuseries that lays bare the true stories behind how #Chicago and its suburbs devised discriminatory policies to create the nation’s most sweeping system of racially segregated communities — and how the consequences of those policies persist to this day.”
This afternoon, The Chicago Community Trust's Collective Power team hosted a screening of Episode 3 from Shame of Chicago, Shame of the Nation, a docuseries that lays bare the true stories behind how #Chicago and its suburbs devised discriminatory policies to create the nation’s most sweeping system of racially segregated communities — and how the consequences of those policies persist to this day. The Trust is proud to have supported this film. Following the screening, the Trust's Iona Calhoun-Battiste LPC moderated a panel discussion and Q&A with historians and experts from the film, Dr. Charles Branham and Dr. Adam Green. Thank you to Marisa Novara for our opening remarks, to all our attendees for joining, and to the Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for having us.
