- kasey_junk 4y agoInteresting you mention Dan Ryan as the highway that bears his name was placed where it is specifically to act as a racial barrier and to break up a burgeoning black political power base. At the same time mega public housing projects were built for the same purpose going against the best practices then and now. It’s not surprising that 2 of the biggest infrastructure projects in Chicago history that were used with the express purpose of isolating and disempowering specific neighborhoods should have the effect of doing just that.
