1950s-1980s

-Chicago's ghettos in the 1960s were notorious for their shootings, robberies, rapes, fires, joblessness, single-parent families, dreadful schools and high dropout rates, rampant alcoholism and heroin addiction, abandoned buildings and vacant lots.

-1950s: In the course of little more than a decade, at least 9,000 families are displaced as the Chicago area’s major expressways are built.
