Little is known about Eugene Williams, the black teenager whose killing catalyzed Chicago’s 1919 race riot. I tracked down a few new details about him for this new @ChicagoMag story (a follow-up to the longer history I wrote in the August issue). chicagomag.com/city-life/Aug… #chi1919

African American homebuyers are often steered toward non-White neighborhoods for that major purchase — and as a result, their homes often appreciate more slowly than their white counterparts, a new report on fair housing says. bit.ly/2kciaTd
