It wouldn’t be right to post about Millenium Park and Crown Fountain and skip over the Chicago Projects. You hear the same theme over and over again when talking to people about the projects: disbelief.
How could this kind of poverty exist in America?
If you haven’t been exposed to the projects before, try these books and audio documentaries. In addition, here are some documentary clips shot in the Robert Taylor, Ida B. Wells, East Park, and Harold Ickes Projects and others to get you started.
