Update: 2025-08-13
Description
A Chicago taskforce is exploring what reparations could mean for the city’s Black residents, and it’s taking an open-minded approach, considering more than just money.
Meanwhile, Evanston continues to disburse funds to Black residents and descendents affected by the city’s history of discriminatory housing practices, such as redlining.
So, what’s happened with reparations so far, and what comes next for Evanston, Chicago and other local communities?
