‘Chicago Tonight’ in Your Neighborhood: Washington Heights
Clip: 11/4/2021 | 6m 21sVideo has Closed Captions
We visit the South Side neighborhood as part of our community reporting series.
We are in Washington Heights, a predominantly African American community on the city’s far south side. It's tightly knit, with high rates of homeownership but a relatively low COVID vaccination rate. And home to a branch of the Chicago public library that's visited by scholars from around the world. We'll tell you why and have much more.
