Evanston, Illinois, has been referred to as the new epicenter of the civil rights movement. In 2019, it became the first city in America to guarantee funding for reparations to black residents. In a four-part series, Reparations Nation, the Washington Examiner profiled the program's architect, talked to recipients of $25,000 housing grants, and examined the partnership between the city and one of its largest employers, Northwestern University, as both tried to navigate the lasting legacies of a racist past.
