Five Views on Open Occupancy in Chicago
A debate among South Siders presents five positions on Open Occupancy. Pragmatists demand rapid desegregation to prevent a widening Negro Ghetto and call for city county openness and community action. The Far Left Liberal argues for equal opportunity and dispersion of the Ghetto while criticizing H R 1052 as a cure-all. The piece notes the broader social costs of segregation including education, health, crime, and housing market effects.
