It is 1960 and you are the head of
a Negro family looking to move out
of the city and into the suburbs of Chicago. You are 23
years old. You went to school through the eighth
grade, but your family needed extra income so you left school to go to
work. You now work in manufacturing.
You are not a veteran of World War II or Korea. Your wife is 24
years old and works part time as a
housekeeper. She is pregnant
with your second child, and
you'd like to find a three-bedroom home so each child can have its own
room. Your family income is $3,900
a year.
