more than 700Chicagoans died in the heatwave.64000:34:07,050 --> 00:34:09,469{\an8}But you say that's notreally the entire story.64100:34:09,511 --> 00:34:12,825{\an8}What you wanted to knowwere the underlying social,64200:34:12,850 --> 00:34:14,175{\an8}human dimensions to this, right?64300:34:14,199 --> 00:34:15,867{\an8}That's right,we have this term, a natural64400:34:15,891 --> 00:34:17,370{\an8}disaster that we'reall familiar with.64500:34:17,394 --> 00:34:20,105{\an8}There's certainly nothingnatural about the way they died.64600:34:20,105 --> 00:34:23,076{\an8}What I'm more concerned aboutis our collective failure64700:34:23,100 --> 00:34:25,999{\an8}to address the everyday crisis,64800:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,399{\an8}the disaster in slowmotion if you

all kind ofaccountable in some way.65200:34:34,191 --> 00:34:36,809And my biggest concernnow is that if we refuse65300:34:36,810 --> 00:34:38,859to come to termswith this crisis,65400:34:38,860 --> 00:34:41,869we'll doom ourselvesto experience it again.65500:34:41,870 --> 00:34:43,469(deep, somber music)65600:34:43,470 --> 00:34:45,059[Judith] And we did.65700:34:45,060 --> 00:34:47,409Just six

the bigelephant in the room,67100:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,729the race and economic classof most of the victims,67200:35:32,730 --> 00:35:35,689which the media hasn'tdiscussed much at all,67300:35:35,690 --> 00:35:37,003but we will a bit later.67400:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,559[Judith] What had seemed tome to be a one-time tragedy67500:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,623in Chicago, all at

00:35:59,599one specific heat disaster,turned into something else,67900:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,850something more complicatedand uncomfortable.68000:36:03,260 --> 00:36:06,803About the impact of

those levies?68300:36:15,870 --> 00:36:20,479The bill is $2.9 billion,which will give us,68400:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,579send us a long way to repairingand upgrading the levies,68500:36:23,580 --> 00:36:25,569making them real categorythree protection,68600:36:25,570 --> 00:36:28,233which apparently they weren't,we learned the hard way.68700:36:29,499 --> 00:36:32,582(slow, somber

00:36:44,759Mayor Daley inaugurated hisofficial climate action plan,69100:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,519starting with a $2.5million project,69200:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,026built on top of city

stories above thecity, and as you can tell,69600:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,559{\an8}it's kinda like a prairie,you can hear the crickets,69700:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,109{\an8}you can see the

created anurban heat island map.70100:37:10,540 --> 00:37:12,539We can see the hot spots70200:37:12,540 --> 00:37:14,869and then we planttrees in those areas.70300:37:14,870 --> 00:37:17,469'Cause one

--> 00:38:03,119from the time I wasone or two years old71300:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,713till I was about 14.71400:38:05,690 --> 00:38:08,273Used to be a churchhere that burned down.71500:38:09,518 --> 00:38:10,903Used to be a house here.71600:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,593This house was nextdoor to where we lived,71700:38:17,630 --> 00:38:19,623and we lived right here.71800:38:21,540 --> 00:38:24,687And this whole blockwas full of houses.71900:38:27,230 --> 00:38:30,859I can start to evensee the faces of people72000:38:30,860 --> 00:38:32,033that I grew up with.72100:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,029Summer day like today, whenI was growing up around here,72200:38:37,030 --> 00:38:39,939would be full ofpeople out and about.72300:38:39,940 --> 00:38:44,123Kids playing,adults coming to and from work.72400:38:50,410 --> 00:38:53,023There were all kinds ofthings up and down Halsted.72500:38:55,130 --> 00:38:57,529It was this vibrant place to be,72600:38:57,530 --> 00:38:59,253there were two movie theaters.72700:39:01,032 --> 00:39:03,959There was a Sears store,and in the basement,72800:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,210Hellmann's grocery store.72900:39:06,470 --> 00:39:08,939I used to get thelist from my mom,73000:39:08,940 --> 00:39:11,553and then I'd walk up hereand get whatever she wanted.73100:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,409Only downtown hadmore economic activity73200:39:17,410 --> 00:39:19,983than the 63rd andHalsted Street corridor.73300:39:21,740 --> 00:39:25,719It's just been anincredible 50 plus years73400:39:25,720 --> 00:39:28,153of watching whathappens to a community.73500:39:35,370 --> 00:39:37,819If the heatwave happenedwhen I was growing up,73600:39:37,820 --> 00:39:40,373I think the outcome would'vebeen a lot different.73700:39:41,860 --> 00:39:45,109When it got really hot, peoplewould sleep on the back porch73800:39:45,110 --> 00:39:46,293or sleep in the park.73900:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,993People felt much safer.74000:39:50,050 --> 00:39:51,809I mean,imagine going from feeling like74100:39:51,810 --> 00:39:53,239you can go sleep in the park,74200:39:53,240 --> 00:39:56,040to feeling like you can'teven put a fan in your window.74300:40:02,030 --> 00:40:03,740Yeah, and some ofthis is privately owned74400:40:03,750 --> 00:40:08,750but a lot of this land isowned in fact by the city.74500:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,903Just

00:41:00,483{\an8}they can break outand get a hold of you.75200:41:04,180 --> 00:41:07,199The richer theneighbourhood, the less lots.75300:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,759Like in Pill Hill,there's no lots.75400:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,569Maybe two or three,but over here,75500:41:12,570 --> 00:41:14,533we got maybe about 2,000 lots.75600:41:15,770 --> 00:41:18,539[Judith] Since 2005,the city of

practicecalled contract buying,78100:42:39,150 --> 00:42:41,249which was essentiallya high risk,78200:42:41,250 --> 00:42:43,351and usurious installment plan.78300:42:43,352 --> 00:42:46,269(person

music)83800:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,783It's just you don't reallyeven think about it,83900:45:49,002 --> 00:45:52,759or really comprehend it I guess,84000:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,029until you have to explainit to somebody else.84100:45:56,030 --> 00:45:59,933Then it's like,it's just right in your face.84200:46:02,349 --> 00:46:05,141I was upset aboutthose right there.84300:46:05,159 --> 00:46:08,023Look at that, boarded up.84400:46:09,180 --> 00:46:11,939All, the school is surrounded.84500:46:11,940 --> 00:46:15,029What do you think about whenyou see abandoned property?84600:46:15,030 --> 00:46:18,253It's abandoned,forgot about, left out.84700:46:32,890 --> 00:46:35,419None of this is rocket science.84800:46:35,420 --> 00:46:39,729We all know what it takes tomake a healthy neighbourhood.84900:46:39,730 --> 00:46:42,359It doesn't require you tohave mansions on the street.85000:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,889It requires you to havethe grocery stores,85100:46:44,890 --> 00:46:47,259the coffee shops,the restaurants,85200:46:47,260 --> 00:46:49,509the beauty parlors,the barbershops.85300:46:49,510 --> 00:46:52,669These are all institutionsthat help make streets safe,85400:46:52,670 --> 00:46:54,839they provide places forpeople to go for help.85500:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,139They provide places,certainly in the wintertime85600:46:57,140 --> 00:46:59,899and summertime,for cooling and heating.85700:46:59,900 --> 00:47:02,983(slow, somber music)85800:47:10,130 --> 00:47:15,156This map is in a sense,an exemplar or a model85900:47:15,180 --> 00:47:20,099of all of those issuescoming together in one place.86000:47:20,100 --> 00:47:23,553For example, communities thathave no supermarkets in them.86100:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,769If you map out vacantlots, violent crime rates,86200:47:28,770 --> 00:47:33,770was it diabetes, breastcancer, and on and on and on.86300:47:35,390 --> 00:47:40,099And so, map after map aftermap shows the distribution86400:47:40,100 --> 00:47:43,403of the highest mortality andmorbidity throughout the city.86500:47:46,530 --> 00:47:49,109These are thingshuman beings created.86600:47:49,110 --> 00:47:52,709Let me be really clear,racism is not a disaster,86700:47:52,710 --> 00:47:55,949it's something that humanbeings invented and created86800:47:55,950 --> 00:47:57,489and keep healthy.86900:47:57,490 --> 00:48:00,229Segregation is somethinghuman beings invented,87000:48:00,230 --> 00:48:02,953specific human beingsfor specific purposes.87100:48:03,820 --> 00:48:05,609The health inequities that exist87200:48:05,610 --> 00:48:07,860are not accidents,they're created by people.87300:48:11,590 --> 00:48:14,409[Judith] So the slowmotion disaster in Chicago87400:48:14,410 --> 00:48:17,249was the direct resultof public policies87500:48:17,250 --> 00:48:21,573that effectively divided thecity into haves and have nots.87600:48:22,670 --> 00:48:26,349And it was precisely theselife and death inequalities87700:48:26,350 --> 00:48:29,869that motivated Dr. Whitmanto step down from his post87800:48:29,870 --> 00:48:32,789as the city's chiefepidemiologist,87900:48:32,790 --> 00:48:35,529to lead the SinaiUrban Health Institute.88000:48:35,530 --> 00:48:38,853His goal, to close thehealth disparity gap.88100:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,219We've done study afterstudy and published it88200:48:43,220 --> 00:48:45,409in all of our mostprestigious journals,88300:48:45,410 --> 00:48:50,099showing not only that blackpeople and other poor people88400:48:50,100 --> 00:48:53,249have much worse health,but in fact that the differences88500:48:53,250 --> 00:48:56,379in health and measures ofhealth are growing worse88600:48:56,380 --> 00:48:59,019everywhere we look in Chicago.88700:48:59,020 --> 00:49:01,087And, the reason that'shappening is because88800:49:01,111 --> 00:49:03,280the rich are getting richer,the poor are getting poorer.88900:49:03,300 --> 00:49:05,079And the poor are notonly getting poorer,89000:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,889but they're gettingsicker as well.89100:49:07,890 --> 00:49:11,170Life expectancy in the loop,where we're sitting now,89200:49:11,580 --> 00:49:14,709{\an8}is 81 years,and for black communities89300:49:14,734 --> 00:49:17,326{\an8}throughout Chicagoit was 65 years.89400:49:17,649 --> 00:49:21,16316 years differencein life expectancy89500:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,399and you could walk fromone community to the other.89600:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,809One of the strongestcorrelates of bad health89700:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,929for black people,it's been shown over and over89800:49:28,930 --> 00:49:32,119in the literature,is segregation.89900:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,669We are one of themost segregated cities90000:49:34,670 --> 00:49:35,773in the United States.90100:49:36,610 --> 00:49:40,369If black people in Chicagohad the same death rates90200:49:40,370 --> 00:49:44,649as white people,3,200 fewer black people90300:49:44,650 --> 00:49:47,369in just one yearwould have died.90400:49:47,370 --> 00:49:49,819What number is 3,200 like?90500:49:49,820 --> 00:49:54,307A very prominent number incurrency in this country.90600:49:54,331 --> 00:49:56,708[Woman] Number of people whodied at the World Trade Center.90700:49:56,750 --> 00:49:58,418Thank you very much,the number of

dollars spent,91100:50:08,420 --> 00:50:12,379and yet, here's 3,000deaths in just one year.91200:50:12,380 --> 00:50:15,65910 years, that's 32,000 deaths,91300:50:15,660 --> 00:50:18,616just from
