Chicago's Wall: Race, Segregation And The Chicago Housing Authority, David T. Greetham
Chicago's Wall: Race, Segregation And The Chicago Housing Authority, David T. Greetham
Senior Independent Study Theses
When the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) was created in 1937 the organization's mission was to provide decent and affordable housing for low-income people. As thousands of African Americans migrated to Chicago from the South after World War II, a combination of public policy and private exclusion forced them to turn to the CHA for housing. Through political manipulation and racism, the CHA became a tool to segregate, confine, and conceal Chicago's burgeoning African American population. By the 1960s, 99 percent of CHA tenants were African American and over 90 percent of CHA developments were located in predominantly African American neighborhoods. …
Does Spatial Mismatch Still Occur In 2010? An Examination Of Race, Income And Urban Georgraphy In The Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor Metropolitan Statistical Area, Kelsey Bridges
Senior Independent Study Theses
Spatial mismatch literature has an extensive, divisive history.

The study will also question whether race or income is a larger indicator of spatial disparity. Using data from the U.S. Census and Zip Code Business Patterns files, this study provides a regression analysis of occupational and residential spatial disparities for 2010, in the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor …
