SourceLab is excited to announce the publication of a new edition: “Changing Activism: Hal Baron Lays Out Strategy for Civil Rights in Public Housing.” This edition presents Hal Baron’s strategic memorandum and contextualizes it within Chicago’s housing policies and activism in the Civil Rights Era. Students and researchers can explore the strategy Baron envisioned as it pertains to housing segregation in Chicago leading up to and directly preceding the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Baron’s memo may be used both as a historical source and as a model for current or future activists.
