Shame of Chicago, Shame of the Nation: A Film Viewing and Discussion

The CREW DC DEI Council invites you to an engaging Film Viewing and Discussion of the documentary Shame of Chicago, Shame of the Nation. This powerful four-part series uncovers the unsettling truth behind how Chicago and its suburbs created one of the country’s most entrenched systems of racial segregation. It reveals how these policies drastically impacted generations of Black families, leading to the vast racial wealth gap that continues to affect the nation today.

Prior to the event, please watch the first episode, The Color Tax, available for free on PBS:

During the event, we will be watching select snippets from the film, so don’t let not having seen the full episode stop you from joining the conversation!

Join us for an intimate and thought-provoking discussion with fellow CREW DC members as we reflect on how the film’s themes resonate with our own city, Washington, DC.

Refreshments will be served.
