A Little Known History of Black American Ghettos





In my on-going trek for meaning and understanding of difficult topical matters,I
happened on a great read for understanding the urban history and  inner-city
problems of the Black community. More and more,I learn how multiple generations
of  americans are unaware of the impact of  historical US governmental policies upon
the contemporary problems in american society today. A lot of youth today are unfamiliar
with the relevant histories as they and their parents were not taught about them. Learning
about relevant histories of US governmental policies strengthens  today's students, young-adult
and adult  leaders as they are bombarded daily with internet accounts of  social justice matters.


 The 'great read' was a New York Time Article re-published in The Sunday Tribune April 1,2018 about the
death of Arnold R. Hirsch (69) . Writer,Sewell Chan, described Hirsch  as, "a historian whose
landmark study  of Chicago documented the role of  government policy in creating highly segregated
African-American ghettos during the mid-20th century..."

Fictional hoboclowns  occasionally wander aimlessly looking for something that piques their interest!
Well, the following links are  very informative and worthy of sharing,
