====Woodlawn Organization====
In the 1960's, the Temporary Woodlawn Organization(TWO) was formed on behalf of local churches to confront a plan by the University of Chicago to expand in the area, as well as work toward better neighborhood schools.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=rfhJCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA100 Urban Neighborhoods in a New Era: Revitalization Politics in the Postindustrial City]</ref><ref>[http://chronicle.uchicago.edu/001102/cohousing.shtml Residents of Woodlawn seeing improvements, as a 40-year rebuilding effort starts to pay off]</ref> They consulted with Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation to help confront Mayor [[Richard J.

Woodlawn organized a series of protests, using negative publicity to its advantage. In once instance, residents brought their cameras into the schools and took pictures of unoccupied desks. during protests in front of the homes of white slumlords, black residents were bussed in where they held signs all the way up and down the streets distributing pamphlets and protesting to gather attention to the situation.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=qojgLBuEFEUC&pg=PA12 Chicago Portraits: New Edition]</ref>
