from The AMp from Vocalo · host Vocalo Radio
A report titled "The Plunder of Black Wealth in Chicago: New Findings on the Lasting Toll of Predatory Housing Contracts" found that Black families in Chicago lost between 3 and 4 billion of dollars in wealth because of said contracts during the 1950s and 60s. Jill Hopkins spoke with WBEZ South Side reporter Natalie Moore about that report and whether the new Chicago administration and its newly formed Housing Department will see equity in home ownership a priority issue.
