TV Program: America Beyond the Color Line: Chicago: Streets of Heaven

Gates goes inside the notorious housing projects in Chicago's South Side – the Robert Taylor and the Ida B. Wells – to find out from the people who live there what life is like for America's "underclass." "What happened to the city of refuge my father's generation sought in the North, North where 'the streets of Heaven were paved with gold?'," wonders Gates. Caught up in a culture of criminality, poverty and despair, is there any hope for the fifth of black Americans who have been left behind?
