That was a great piece. I wonder if this is the same 8-mile Eminem referenced in his early songs and the movie?
“Race wasn’t a major issue at the time,” said Stephen Bean, 80, who is white and grew up near the wall. “Everybody just sort of got along.”
Seeing this quote gets me thinking about all the anti-CRT and anti-1619 Project rhetoric that race shouldn't be part of any education curriculum at any level; that teaching slavery, KKK, Jim Crow, Civil Rights etc. accurately teaches White guilt to kids. (Nonsense of course)
I have to find a virtual map of Chicago that shows the same racial and ethnic divide over time. It's an amazing thing.
