  • Redlining in Evanston

    Evanston, IL
    Other

    This document traces the history of racial discrimination and housing segregation in Evanston, Illinois from 1860 to 1958. Key developments include Illinois repealing its 1853 act barring Black residency in 1865, though Evanston adopted Jim Crow policies between 1900 and the 1930s through exclusionary tactics and racial covenants prohibiting home sales to non-Caucasians. In 1920–1927, Chicago attorney Nathan MacChesney drafted a Code of Ethics addition forbidding realtors from introducing members of other races into certain neighborhoods and created a model racially restrictive covenant targeting "Colored" people for the Chicago Real Estate Board. The 1930 Home Owners Loan Corporation residential security maps graded lending risks across over 200 cities, with Evanston's Fifth Ward designated as redlined (D2 rating), based partly on HOLC statements characterizing Black population growth as "quite a serious problem." By 1948, a mass meeting addressed the city's failure to provide housing for Black residents, and a 1948 judgment ruled against Evanston's attempt to restrict veteran housing for Black residents. In January 1958, Martin Luther King Jr. visited Beth Emet the Free Synagogue in Evanston to speak on integration.

  • Advisory Opinion 21-003-Solicitor Conflict of Interest Signed

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    The Scranton Ethics Board issued Advisory Opinion 21-003 on March 15, 2021, addressing whether the law firm Oliver, Price & Rhodes (OPR) could continue representing the City of Scranton in ongoing litigation matters after Joseph A. O'Brien, a partner at OPR, accepted appointment as City Solicitor in October 2020. The City has paid OPR at a rate of $95.00 per hour, primarily for defending civil rights actions in United States District Court, with work performed by Attorney Michael J. O'Brien and Attorney Jenna Kraycer Tuzze. Upon becoming Solicitor, O'Brien established a policy prohibiting new case assignments to OPR while he holds that office, though OPR continued work on cases already in litigation, and O'Brien agreed to be screened from any proceeds the firm received from the City.
