“Martin Luther King told us, ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.’ When Dr. King came to Chicago to shine a light on discriminatory housing, he inspired Dorothy Gautreaux to action. Her lawsuit against CHA and HUD led to the Gautreaux Order compelling fair housing in all communities. The lifting of that order, which has now been replaced with a settlement agreement, is a sign of the progress we have made together as a city. The journey towards progress has been long, and it is one Chicago could only make by working together with strong partners like BPI. This decision marks a seminal moment in Chicago’s history.”
