What to know about a lawsuit against reparations in Illinois

Season 2024 Episode 169 | 5m 39s

In 2021, the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois, became the first U.S. city to offer reparations to Black Americans for past housing discrimination. Now, a conservative legal group is challenging the program in court, saying it unconstitutionally discriminates against residents who aren’t Black. John Yang speaks with Brandis Friedman of PBS member station WTTW for more.
