This pod examines the strained race relations of a Chicago neighborhood through the eyes of a Palestinian immigrant named Fayez.
After a long period of Muslim homogeneity, the community of Marquette Park became a hotbed for drugs and gangs. Last year, Fayez was attacked by a gang of African-Americans and since then he has developed a feeling of resentment towards blacks that borders on racism.
Fayez plans to leave Marquette Park with his family along with many other Muslims to start anew in a more secluded community. A group of four Northwestern students went to the new community and talked with a storeowner there who had some great insight on why people are moving. We also interviewed a Muslim activist who believes leaving for the sake of being separate will be detrimental to the community.
