This picture comes from information in an article titled "'Back in time 60 years’: America’s most segregated city -Why Milwaukee, far from the Deep South, gets the unwelcome title as the most segregated place in America."
This picture reads, "With so little transit, a car is often a necessity for a suburban job. So, therefore, is a license. In Wisconsin, any unpaid driving fine or fee can result in a two-year suspension - more than twice as long as the suspension for a drunk-driving conviction.
Tens of thousands of black Milwaukee residents are being denied the opportunity to make a legal living because they're short $100 or less. An astonishing one in two black men in Milwaukee County, which includes the city and its inner suburbs, has a suspended license today."
Just thought you might like to understand the context of the racial strife in Milwaukee.
