'State of Black Chicago' report notes ongoing disparities for Black and White residents
The unemployment rate for Black residents is more than 16 percent. For white residents, it's just under 11 percent.Urban League President and CEO Karen Freeman-Wilson said it will take the whole city to create equality.
"If we don't take the all-hands-on-deck approach, we will continue to see a tale of two cities. Because, unless you are doing something to help people catch up, other folks will keep making progress; and Black people, Black Chicagoans, will continue to lag behind," she said. The education disparity is also startling. More than 53 percent of white residents have at least a bachelor's degree. That number is just under 23 percent for Black residents.
