Back in July, WBEZ aired a story about its own Susie An buying her first home. Her experience clued WBEZ in to a broader story of how realtors have navigated the post-bubble world for large profits; and, in some cases, at the expense of taxpayers and end buyers like An—WBEZ’s Ashley Gross had the story. And, this week Chicago Public Schools will announce the schools it wants to shut down for poor performance. Eight Forty-Eight turned to WBEZ’s Linda Lutton for the latest developments. Then, Eight Forty-Eight spoke with Karen Freeman-Wilson, who was elected the first female mayor of Gary, Indiana earlier this month. And, the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum’s new Alternative Labeling Project seeks to redefine the ways people think about history; Eight Forty-Eight peeked into Jane Addams’ medicine kit with artist and scholar Terri Kapsalis.
