America on Fire: Ep 3: The Projects: Help or Hidden Prison?

Episode 3 examines how post‑World War II public housing was racialized and transformed into zones of surveillance and containment, concentrating poverty while being presented as support.

Host Connie Morris uses Elizabeth Hinton’s America on Fire to unpack the policies, policing, and purposeful neglect behind the projects and urges listeners to push for housing that restores dignity instead of control.
