Reconstruction Era Reparations Act Now, or RERAN, founder Howard Ray Jr. said slavery took away the ability to create generational wealth for Blacks, and those in Chicago are living that reality.

You could extrapolate that out even further and say that the Great Depression wiped out much of whatever wealth remained, all but for the extremely wealthy, and I know my great-great and great-grandpartents struggled in Chicago during the Great Depression.
