SUMMARY:Virtual Urban History Seminar | “Selling Ebony Magazine”
DESCRIPTION:The Urban History Seminar series feature a scholarly presentation followed by lively discussion. Ann C. Saunders\, artist\, educator\, and creative consultant\, formerly an Associate Professor at the School of Art and Design at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale\, presents “Selling Ebony Magazine: Doris E. Saunders and the Marketing of Black America.” \nChicago Bronzeville librarian and trailblazer Doris E. Saunders was critical to the early financial success of Ebony magazine. Saunders’ untold efforts in marketing research\, as early as 1949\, on behalf of Chicago-based Ebony “introduced advertisers to an “untapped $16 billion market.” This made Ebony the most significant medium of African American culture and experience\, transforming the American media landscape. Public historian Ann C. Saunders shares the process and research used for asserting and proving Saunders’s overlooked critical role. \nThe Zoom session will open at 6:45 p.m. with the program starting at 7:00 p.m. and concluding by 8:15 p.m. RSVP is required. \nThis session is free of charge; we would greatly appreciate a donation to the Museum in any amount. A Zoom link will be provided after registration. \nThe Urban History Seminars have been generously underwritten by the Chicago History Museum since 1983.

SUMMARY:Commemorative Day | Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Black History Month at CHM as we look at the ways art has been a vehicle for social change in Chicago’s African American community. Enjoy hands-on arts activities\, music\, and speakers. \nSchedule\n10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. – Printmaking with Purpose with teaching artist Jomo Cheatham \n10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. – Arts and Crafts for Social Change \n12:00–1:00 p.m. – Public Talk | “Final Judgement: The Case of Emmett Till” by Dr. Christopher Benson \nLEARN MOREHear from Dr. Christopher Benson as he discusses details from his book A Few Days Full of Trouble: Revelations on the Journey to Justice for My Cousin and Best Friend\, Emmett Till\, coauthored with Reverend Wheeler Parker Jr. Get an insider’s view of the coauthors’ four-year “ride-along” with the FBI as it closed out the investigation into this 1955 lynching. The murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till sparked the modern Civil Rights Movement\, yet so much has been concealed over the years. The case concerned so much more than racial violence\, it was about power and how the criminal justice system bent under the pressure of a corrupt system. \n1:30–2:30 p.m. – Film Screening | The Murder of Emmett Till (2023) \nLEARN MOREIn August 1955\, a 14-year-old Black boy allegedly flirted with a white woman in a grocery store in Money\, Mississippi. Emmett Till\, a teen from Chicago\, didn’t understand that he had broken the unwritten laws of the Jim Crow South until three days later\, when two white men dragged him from his bed in the dead of night\, beat him brutally and then shot him in the head. Although his killers were arrested and charged with murder\, they were both acquitted quickly by an all-white\, all-male jury. Shortly afterwards\, the defendants sold their story\, including their tale of how they murdered Till\, to a journalist. The murder and the trial horrified the nation and the world. Till’s death was a spark that helped mobilize the civil rights movement. Three months after his body was pulled from the Tallahatchie River\, the Montgomery bus boycott began.

SUMMARY:Partner Event | Japanese American Day of Remembrance

SUMMARY:Partner Event | First Additions: Strategies for Adding On
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with the Benjamin Marshall Society\, join us for an author talk with Stuart Cohen and Julie Hacker on their new book\, First Additions: Strategies for Adding On. \nIn a practice spanning forty years\, Cohen and Hacker have evolved strategies for making building additions that represent a theoretical and philosophical position about altering older structures. They believe that recycling existing buildings\, retrofitting them to meet new energy standards\, preserving their embodied energy as well as their cultural and historical significance\, is the most sustainable way to practice architecture.  \nFirst Additions presents theoretical essays about making additions\, followed by a portfolio of their architectural work doing residential additions. Their lecture will present strategies for adding onto older buildings illustrated by both historic examples and by examples of their work. \nBoth Cohen and Hacker are Fellows of the American Institute of Architects\, and both have served on Evanston’s Preservation Commission. Hacker has served on the Chicago AIA Board of Directors and both the National and Local CRAN (Custom Residential Architecture Network) steering committees. Cohen is the author of four books on the history of Chicago’s residential architecture and in 2022 received the Chicago Chapter of the American Institute of Architects’ Lifetime Achievement Award. They both received the Society of Architectural Historians’ Award for Excellence for their architectural practice.  \nCHM director of exhibitions Paul Durica will begin the program with an introduction discussing the Museum’s extensive architecture collection. After their presentation\, Cohen and Hacker will sign copies of their book\, which is illustrated with full page\, full color photographs of their additions to historic houses located along Chicago’s North Shore.  \n$15; $10 members.  \nQuestions? Contact Nell McKeown\, development events manager\, at mckeown@chicagohistory.org or (312) 799-2112.

SUMMARY:Partner Program | Division Street Revisited Podcast Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:The newly released podcast Division Street Revisited follows up on the stories of “uncelebrated” people in Studs Terkel’s groundbreaking 1967 oral history\, Division Street: America. Pulitzer Prize winner Mary Schmich interviewed the original subjects’ families\, and for the first time in a podcast\, we get to hear the astonishing stories of where life took them.  \nJoin us at the Museum for one of seven free listening club events moderated by Mary Schmich. The episode focuses on the legacy of Mary Ward Wolkonsky\, who used her wealth to make Chicago a cosmopolitan city and create opportunities for women.     \nOther listening sessions will take place online with a final in-person session at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music.   \nFree; registration at 5 pm and event starts at 5:30 p.m. \nAbout the podcast: https://www.mharris.com/divisionstreetrevisited  \nEpisode description: In a time when women’s opportunities were limited\, Mary Ward Wolkonsky used her wealth to make Chicago a cosmopolitan city and create opportunities for women. Often considered a “socialite\,” she was more accurately described as an “ambassador for Chicago.” But the demands of her husband’s corporate roles also limited her sphere to volunteer boards\, not the boardroom. Wolkonsky didn’t call herself a feminist but was a strong supporter of reproductive rights.

SUMMARY:Virtual Urban History Seminar | “The Unknown History of Baseball Gambling\, 1874–1950”
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This program was originally scheduled for March 13. It has been rescheduled to March 6 due to speaker availability.  \nThe Urban History Seminar series feature a scholarly presentation followed by lively discussion. Steven A. Riess\, Bernard Brommel Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus at Northeastern Illinois University\, presents “The Unknown History of Baseball Gambling\, 1874–1950.” \nBaseball\, the former national pastime\, once promoted itself as good\, clean fun that epitomized the best in our society. Recent historical research\, however\, has significantly uncovered the extent of gambling in baseball\, and its connection to organized crime and urban politics. \nRiess discusses his recent research exploring the origins of “fixing” professional baseball games in Chicago in the 1870s. He will also discuss his findings that the 1919 World Series betting scandal known as the Black Sox did not curtail baseball gambling\, especially on the World Series. \nThe Zoom session will open at 6:45 p.m. with the program starting at 7:00 p.m. and concluding by 8:15 p.m. RSVP is required. \nThis session is free of charge; we would greatly appreciate a donation to the Museum in any amount. A Zoom link will be provided after registration. \nThe Urban History Seminars have been generously underwritten by the Chicago History Museum since 1983.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion | Chicago Latina Trailblazers
DESCRIPTION:Mexican American and Puerto Rican women have long taken up the challenge to improve the lives of Chicagoans in the city’s Latino/a/x communities. Hear from the coeditors of Chicago Latina Trailblazers: Testimonios of Political Activism as they present testimonies by Latina leaders: \n\nDr. Rita D. Hernández\, former instructor of education and human development at Texas A&M University\, Corpus Christi\nLeticia Villarreal Sosa\, associate dean for research and faculty development and a professor in the School of Social Work at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley\nElena R. Gutiérrez\, associate professor in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies and the Department of Latin American and Latino Studies at the University of Illinois Chicago.\n\nFrom the 1960s through today\, these trailblazers shaped Latina Chicago history\, advanced agendas\, built institutions\, forged alliances\, and created essential resources that Latino/a/x communities lacked. Time and again\, they found themselves the first Latina to hold their post or part of the first Latino/a/x institution of its kind. Just as often\, early grassroots efforts to address issues affecting themselves\, their families\, and their neighborhoods grew into larger endeavors. Their experiences ranged from public schools to healthcare to politics to broadcast media\, and each woman’s story shows how her work changed countless lives and still reverberates across the entire city. \nAn eyewitness view of an unknown history\, Chicago Latina Trailblazers reveals the vision and passion that fueled a group of women in the vanguard of reform. \nA moderated Q&A will follow the panel discussion.
