  • The Case for Reparations

    Evanston, IL
    Other

    This April 18, 2019 memorandum from City Clerk Devon Reid to Alderwoman Robin Rue Simmons outlines a framework for researching and developing reparations in Evanston based on documented historical discrimination. The document identifies three categories of racial harm: relocation of Black homes to the 5th Ward beginning in the 1920s through aldermanic permit approvals; red-lining in the 1930s, when the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation designated a "D2" neighborhood encompassing most of the present-day 5th Ward and part of the 2nd Ward as "hazardous" and ineligible for FHA-backed mortgages, supported by contemporaneous HOLC notes explicitly citing racial composition as justification; and segregation-driven rezoning policies between 1910 and 1940 that confined African American housing to western Evanston despite a population growth of 5,000, resulting in increased crowding and higher housing prices in the designated area. The Clerk's office proposes forming a working group including representatives from the Evanston History Center, Open Communities, Shorefront Legacy Center, Evanston Collective, NAACP Evanston Chapter, and community members to continue research and draft a specific reparations model for the city.
