A lunch talk with

Charles Witherington-Perkins, Director of Planning and Community Development, Village of Arlington Heights

and

Gail Schechter, Executive Director, Open Communities

Even while media focus turns to gentrification in our city centers, America's original open housing battles--in affluent suburbs--are far from over. Two leaders who are deeply involved in affordable housing in Chicago's wealthy North Shore will discuss the prospects for economic and racial integration in what remains the most privileged part of the metropolitan area.

Lunch will be provided

This talk will be at the Harris School in room 140C.

Sponsored by the Kreisman Initiative on Housing Law and Policy

This event is free and open to the public, but seating may be limited.
