Mikes guests on this editon of Hitting Left are filmmakers Bruce Orenstein and Floyd Webb.
Bruce's PBS series, "Shame of Chicago, Shame of the Nation" lays bare the story of how Chicago devised the nation’s most sweeping system of racially segregated housing—and how it diminished the lives of generations of Black families, creating the vast racial wealth gap that persists to this day.
Chicago South Side native Floyd Webb, a filmmaker known for starting the Blacklight Film Festival four decades ago, calls himself an “AARP-generation success story” for reinvigorating his career at age 70.
