Chicago Public Schools closing 4 elementary and 2 high schools serving a predominantly, if not exclusively, African American population. The legality of such a move is questionable. More alarming is the potential motive - redevelopment by displacement - not unlike what happened with the Chicago Housing Authority's fiasco with Cabrini Green Housing Projects. The issues raised here are many and worth engaging.
