Housing and opportunities

Today we will discuss how where you live affects your life chances. We will read about Deerfield's history of racial segregation (p.108-110).

To understand how the legacy of segregation affects us today, move into pairs and pick one of the following articles to read and take notes on:

1. CHICAGO REMAINS A SEGREGATED CITY BY RACE AND INCOME – AND GOVERNMENT DESERVES MUCH OF THE BLAME
2. Middle-Class Black Families, in Low-Income Neighborhoods

Share your notes with your partner and discuss both articles.

For homework, read and take notes on "Where are the hardest places to live in the U.S.?"
