The tours are a necessary vehical to show the world what Chicago is tying to hide. Just like Mamie Till showed her sons Emmit Till mangle body- she showed the face of racism. The same holds true here in America today. What the residents of public housing are expriencing is racism- here is a question you need to ask yourselves "Does the Chicago Police Department come into your communities and fill out contact cards on you?" Have anyone from the city came into your communities and forced you to move by the thousands? (Example) Mary Sistrunk is a young mther of six have moved 16 times with a Housing Choice Section 8 Voucher since 1998- there are many more Marys. Anyone in their right minds should be asking what is happening to the people. There is a 1.6 billion dollars plan (tax payer money) taking place right here in your back yards- a plan that will affect the whole world- but many of you rather keep your blinder on- This tour gives you an opportunity to see with your own eyes on how this plan is working or not. because guess what like the bible said- the poor will be among you always. And from the way the economy is going today there will be more poor than rich. Before anyone of you judge a book by it cover- read it first! A wise man once said- an injustice anywhere is an injustice every where! Love Beauty I have listen with an open mind as well as with open heart and open ears to those who think they know why I do what I do.

I would go too if I didn't know better. She needs to drop the tour and build the community - not have others come to negatively gawk at it. Your right Doreen, but a tour about it!

Everyone wasn't born with a silver spoon in their mouth. If there was not a demand for her tour she wouldn't be doing it. Has anyone ever heard of the law of supply and demand?
