jan 1, 1966 - Failure of the 1966 Chicago campaign [ECONOMIC]
Description:
The SCLC's campaign was a failure; aimed to tackle the issue of de facto segregated housing but no support from northern ghetto dwellers who felt that MLK had no understanding of their problems and Mayor Richard Daley made vague promises to improve the situation but did nothing in realityEvidence for the limits to MLK's success in the north. Could contrast with Malcom X's popularity in the North.
