ABOUT SHAME OF CHICAGO, SHAME OF THE NATION
Shame of Chicago, Shame of the Nation is a four-part documentary series that lays bare the story of how Chicago devised the nation’s most sweeping system of racially segregated housing and how it diminished the lives of generations of Black families, creating the vast racial wealth gap that persists to this day.
Told by the people who experienced it, the journalists who documented it and the scholars who’ve studied it, this series unpacks a pivotal part of American history. The documentary airs to the public on April 18, 2024. Learn more and watch the trailer here.
