Margaret Kimberley · Black Urban Crises and Push-Out “Engineered”

Dr David Stovall, author of an article titled, “Engineered Conflict: School Closings, Public Housing, Law Enforcement and the Future of Black Life,” said “one of the ways to attract business interests to cities is to displace those people who you have deemed to be dangerous or politically harmful” – meaning, Blacks. Stovall, a professor of African American Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago and an organizer with the Peoples Education Movement, notes that the Black population in Chicago has been steadily declining since the turn of the 21st century.
