I'm failing to see the point of this very good Artistic exposue of Chicagoes poor of yesteryear.

Are you saying if we dont' look back, we can't move forward?. There's a problem in that. Sometimes we get stuck in the past which stops us from looking to the future.

I've noticed some here have mentioned sense of community and having time to stand around, without commenting on the social realities of this. Standing around = No job, And also backs up the notion of the time that Negroes didn't want to work and were naturally lazy. Sense of community = When you disenfranchise a group they will automatically become one, and have a closer neighbourhood relationship because in numbers and close association there is a sense of strength.
