This morning I woke up to an article in the Atlantic Cities website. It talks about the cities and metro areas in the US with the most class segregation, where the poorest people all live in one area and the most wealthy in another. At the top of the list is Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It wasn't a surprise to see Milwaukee on the list but nevertheless, it still saddens me that the state where I spent my teenage and undergrad years has areas that are the most segregated. I lived on the border of Wisconsin and Illinois. Milwaukee and many towns and small cities in southern Wisconsin are very segregated, racist and police brutality is rampant. It's no surprise then, that Wisconsin sends the highest percentage of black men to prison.
