Synopsis
Hosts Mary Mitchell and Leslie Baldacci are joined by Dr. Carla Hightower and Kevin Berry as they discuss an incident of racial profiling at Chicago's Water Tower Place. Hightower was at the mall when she witnessed a group of black teenagers being groundlessly expelled from the mall before confronting management, and Berry is an executive at General Growth Properties, which owns the mall. After admitting wrongdoing, Berry shares steps the management company is taking to change policies and prevent racial profiling.Mary and Leslie pursue the issue further with personal stories of how racial profiling cuts across racial lines. Then Mary answers Leslie's question from Ep. 8 with a fond reminiscence of dating a white man. Ep. 9 concludes with Mary's BIG question to Leslie: Why do you continue to live in a neighborhood that has changed to being predominantly black?
