I've been wrangling with a post on the implications of the Wall Street bailout for housing advocates for the past few days with little luck, but when a draft of Stella Adams' commentary came across a fair housing listserve last night my worries were over.
On October 7th, the University of Illinois’ Institute of Government and Public Affairs (IGPA) and Jane Addams Hull House Association are acknowledging the 40th anniversary of the passage of the Fair Housing Act of l968 by co-sponsoring a conference, The Next Forty Years of Fair Housing: Developing an Agenda for Integration for the 2lst Century. The event will take place at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) campus in Student Center East at 750 S.
In celebration of One Web Day*, we've posted below a number of vidoes from the most recent meeting of the Chicago Net Tuesday group. At our last meetup, co-covener Michael Maranda asked a general question about what people loved about the Internet in preparation for One Web Day, and the answers were insightful, though provoking, touching, and hilarious (some of them all at once). There is additional coverage of and video from this same meetup on Michael's and Dorothee's blogs. Enjoy.
