High-rise--Hell on Earth

John White

Chicago Sun-Times

Photographer says, 'Chicago, Cabrini-Green, a high-rise housing project almost taken over by street gangs, where many were killed, where fear was a way of life, where folks in some buildings paid to ride the elevators, kids could not attend school, its 'hell on earth' and Chicago Mayor Jane Myrne moved into the housing project to get a first hand look.'
