What we make for learners
The story of how American cities were segregated by federal, municipal, and private decisions doesn’t fit in one format. We tell it in four — a podcast for the long form, virtual tours for the spatial story, a game for the moral weight of the decisions, and a curriculum so any teacher can run the whole arc with their students.
Audio
Conversations with historians, residents, planners, and organizers about the policy decisions that shaped Chicago's neighborhoods. New episodes monthly.
Listen to episodes→Self-paced
Online versions of our walking tours for classrooms and learners outside Chicago. Archival photos, primary sources, and audio commentary at every stop.
Take a tour→Interactive
A 20-minute browser game where you govern a fictional Chicago ward from 1940 to 2040. Real HOLC maps, real housing-finance numbers, real consequences.
Play the game→For teachers
Free, classroom-ready lesson plans, discussion guides, and slide decks built around our tours, podcast, and game. Aligned to high-school civics and U.S. history standards.
Browse the kit→Everything we make is free for classroom use. Pair the podcast with the curriculum, run the game in a 45-minute session, and use the virtual tour as a bridge to a field trip.
