Chicago Now Gives “Ghetto Tours”

The Chicago Bus Tour is going strong:
CHICAGO - The yellow school bus rumbles through vacant lots and past demolished buildings on a tour of what was once one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country.
For the woman with the microphone, the “Ghetto Bus Tour” is the last gasp in a crusade to tell a different story about Chicago’s notorious housing projects, something other than well-known tales about gang violence so fierce that residents slept in their bathtubs to avoid bullets.
“I want you to see what I see,” says Beauty Turner, after leading the group off the bus to a weedy lot where the Robert Taylor Homes once stood. “To hear the voices of the voiceless.”
America, the place to make money.
