The Gilliam Family is one of more than 20 homeowners in Chicagos Englewood neighborhood at risk of losing their homes due to an attempted hostile takeover by Norfolk Southern Corporation (NSC), a firm valued at more than $34.5 billion. The company, led by its Chairman of the Board and CEO Charles Wick Moorman, has targeted working-class families like the Gilliams because they are seen as vulnerable to Norfolk Southerns bullying tactics. Those tactics include the threat of eminent domain—a much-abused legal ploy thats used in unfair land grabs that take advantage of homeowners. Learn more about the Gilliams and how they are fighting to save their home in this first instalment of ERCs video series.
