The Chicago Project

ONE OF THE REASONS I THINK THE RIOTS HAPPENED IS BECAUSE OF POLICE BRULTALITY. THE TAC SQUAD ROAMED THE STREETS SEARCHING FOR BARS TO RAID AND PROSTITUTES TO ARREST. IN 1967 POLICE SEVERELY BEATED  A PROSTITUTE BY THE NAME OF BARBARA JACKSON.AND ANOTHER REASON IS POOR HOUSING. DETROIT HAD A LONG HISTROY OF HOUSING DISCRIMINATION STRETCHING BACK TO THE TURN OF THE CENTURY WHEN BLACK IMIGRANTS FIRST ARRIVED IN THE CITY AND MIDDLE-CLASS AFRICAN AMERICANS SOUGHT TO INTERGRATE PREDOMINANTLY WHITE NEIGHBORHOODS.AND PEOPLE BULIT A SIX FOOT HIGH,ONE FOOT WIDE CONCRETE WALL ALONG EIGHT MILE ROAD TO SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM POTENTIAL BLACK NEIGHBORS.
