Our Mission
A youth-led nonprofit in Chicago tracing what redlining, urban renewal, and highway construction did to the neighborhoods people live in today. We organize the response through education, policy, and research.

Self-guided stops across Chicago’s South and West sides. Each one pairs a specific location with the policy decision that shaped it. Redlining boundaries you can still see in the infrastructure. Urban renewal demolitions. Highway routes drawn through the middle of Black neighborhoods.
Explore ToursConversations with historians, lifelong residents, urban planners, and organizers about the places our tours visit. The research behind each stop, told by the people who lived it and the people still fighting over it.

Active campaigns you can sign onto, tools for drafting public comments and policy proposals, and a channel for residents to submit their own ideas. Once you understand how these patterns work, the next step is changing them.

Stand at the corner where the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation drew a red line in 1938 and you can still see it today. Not on a map, but in the built environment. North of the line: maintained sidewalks, mature trees, single-family homes. South of the line: disinvestment written into every vacant lot.
View This StopWe are looking for young researchers, storytellers, tour guides, and people who want to do the work. If this matters to you, we need you.
