Episode 49: Ruthie Mae McCoy

Meaghan takes us through some dark history of the Chicago Projects that were a result of racism and segregation, before narrowing in on a terrifying murder of a beautiful 52 year old woman just trying to make it in Chicago despite her crippling paranoia and mental health diagnoses, in a city still plagued by racism in 1987.Sources:https://chicagoreader.com/news/they-came-in-through-the-bathroom-mirror/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Housing_Authorityhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/history-uncovered/candymanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABLA_Homeshttps://www.propublica.org/article/chicago-housing-abla-fire-soccer-chahttps://sah-archipedia.org/buildings/IL-01-031-0030 Hosted on Acast.
