This book is a collection of stories andphotos that uncover the hidden influence of both subtle and overt 'don't go' messages and the segregation they perpetuate in Chicago. Told by everyday people to Tonika Lewis Johnson and Maria Krysan -- a Black artist and a White academic who met through their shared passion for anti-segregation work -- the stories paint a rich picture oflife in a segregated city. One by one, the storytellers upend pessimism with candid, deeply personal, humorous, and heartbreaking tales, and with novel ideas for simple actions that can serve as antidotes to both racism and 'place-ism.' By inviting readers into the livesof regular people who have ignored the warning to stay away from 'don't go' neighborhoods or who live in those very same neighborhoods,the stories in Don't Go illuminate the devastating consequences of racial segregation and disinvestment as well as the inevitable rewards of coming together"--
