Shame of Chicago, Shame of The Nation Documentary

I provided archival research and media sourcing for Shame of Chicago, Shame of the Nation, a four-part documentary series exploring the roots of redlining and housing inequality in the United States. Working under a tight production deadline, I conducted in-depth research in the Richard T. Ely papers at the Wisconsin Historical Society and multiple collections at the UW–Madison Archives. I also sourced and acquired high-quality digital photographs and identified additional image repositories to expand the project’s visual storytelling. This short-term collaboration highlights my ability to navigate complex archives and deliver compelling content to support media production. View the series here: https://shameofchicagodoc.org/.
