Program Description

Learn about the federal government's lending policy that segregated America and its impact on author Linda Gartz's community and family as recorded in long-hidden letters and diaries. Her landlord parents nurtured tenants and buildings on Chicago's West Side from 1948-1994 all the while documenting their work-a-day world, the 1960s racial changes, riots, and aftermath. Brought to you in partnership with River Forest Township.
