As the residential construction boom revitalizes Bronzeville, reporter Dennis Rodkin explores why the growth of commercial amenities hasn’t kept up. Plus, what does displacement look like in a neighborhood with 3,000 vacant lots?
In this episode, developer Bernard Lloyd and real estate agent Michelle Brown walk us through the disparities between housing and retail. While historian Sherry Williams explains why Bronzeville’s Black heritage still deserves more global recognition.
