A Historic Stand for Housing Equality
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rev. Jesse Jackson and other civil rights leaders joined the Chicago Freedom Movement demanding an end to discrimination in housing. On July 10, 1966, King delivered a major speech at Chicago’s Soldier Field, then led marchers to City Hall where he taped a letter to the door demanding Mayor Richard Daley open the city and end housing discrimination.
