"Total ghettoization, because they were in charge of public housing, the local council, and they deliberately located people in a ghetto situation in order to ensure that they maintained control"

- John Hume

About this Quote

John Hume's quote is referring to the practice of ghettoization, which is the process of segregating people of a particular race, religious beliefs, or social class into a particular location. This practice was utilized by local councils in order to keep control over the people residing in public housing. By confining individuals to a certain location, the regional councils had the ability to limit their access to resources and opportunities, as well as keep them from having a say in the choices that impacted their lives. This practice of ghettoization has had a long-lasting and harmful effect on individuals who went through it, and it is still seen in many parts of the world today. John Hume's quote works as a reminder of the requirement to eliminate against this practice and ensure that everyone has access to the very same resources and opportunities, no matter their race, religious beliefs, or social class.
