SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! Educator Workshop | Examining "Injustice: The Trial for the Murder of Emmett Till"
DESCRIPTION:In 1955\, the murder of Emmett Till and the criminal trial of his murderers sparked the Civil Rights Movement. \nDesigned for middle and high school educators\, this workshop explores our exhibition Injustice: The Trial for the Murder of Emmett Till and its themes. Dr. Christopher Benson\, a journalist\, lawyer\, professor at Northwestern University\, and Till historian\, will share his research and writing that examine the historical significance of the murder of Emmett Till. He has coauthored books with Till’s mother\, Mamie Till-Mobley\, and Till’s cousin Rev. Wheeler Parker Jr. CHM educators will demonstrate a classroom activity based on the courtroom drawings from the trial by artist Franklin McMahon\, which are part of a classroom resource packet for participants. \nFree; advance reservations required. Recommended for educators of grades 7–12. 3 PD hours. \nWhat happened to Emmett Till is a difficult part of US history\, and Injustice uses photographs\, drawings\, and first-hand accounts from the time to demonstrate the impacts that systemic racism\, inequality\, and anti-Blackness can have on Black lives. Please consider your needs as you register for this workshop.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Paseo Boricua and Humboldt Park   
DESCRIPTION:Join professional guide and local resident Eduardo Arocho on a walk through Humboldt Park. \nLocated on the Northwest Side of Chicago\, the community has been defined by its strong cultural presence throughout the ages. Humboldt Park was named after naturalist and geographer Alexander von Humboldt (1759–1859) in 1869. Interestingly\, the one time that von Humboldt visited the United States\, he did not travel to Chicago. The community was annexed into Chicago the same year as its naming\, following the creation of the West Park System (which also includes Douglass and Garfield Park). These three parks—connected by the Boulevard Park System—were established to provide Chicago residents with some relief from the congested landscape of the city. \nIn a city known for its cultural and ethnic diversity\, Humboldt Park stands out as the center of Puerto Rican culture in both Chicago and the American Midwest. Since the 1960s\, it has been home to Chicago’s Puerto Rican community. This thought-provoking tour explores the history of the iconic West Side neighborhood through the public art proudly displayed along the six blocks of Division Street (Paseo Boricua) and in Humboldt Park. \n$25\, $22.50 members \nTour runs approximately 90 minutes. Meet at Ciclo Urbano\, 2459 W. Division Street\, Chicago\, IL 60622. \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date. \nMasks are optional for our outdoor walking tours. Learn more about our COVID-19 safety policies and procedures. \nTour presented in partnership with Paseo Boricua Tour Company.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Bronzeville
DESCRIPTION:Join author and historian Bernard Turner on this walking tour and see the names and contributions of Chicago’s most influential African Americans on the Walk of Fame\, landmarks\, public art reflecting the histories of the neighborhood\, and stories about the ways African Americans shaped the history and culture of this South Side neighborhood. \nThe Great Migration\, a long-term movement of African Americans from the South to the urban North\, transformed Chicago and other northern cities between 1916 and 1970. Chicago attracted slightly more than 500\,000 of the approximately 7 million African Americans who left the South during these decades. Before this migration\, African Americans constituted 2 percent of Chicago’s population; by 1970\, they were 33 percent. What had been in the 19th century a largely southern and rural African American culture became a culture deeply infused with urban sensibility in the 20th century. And what had been a marginalized population in Chicago emerged by the mid-20th century as a powerful force in the city’s political\, economic\, and cultural life \n$25\, $22.50 members  \nTour runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Meet at the SE corner of 35th Street and Martin Luther King Drive.  \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date. \nMasks are optional for our outdoor walking tours.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Paseo Boricua and Humboldt Park   
DESCRIPTION:Join professional guide and local resident Eduardo Arocho on a walk through Humboldt Park. \nLocated on the Northwest Side of Chicago\, the community has been defined by its strong cultural presence throughout the ages. Humboldt Park was named after naturalist and geographer Alexander von Humboldt (1759–1859) in 1869. Interestingly\, the one time that von Humboldt visited the United States\, he did not travel to Chicago. The community was annexed into Chicago the same year as its naming\, following the creation of the West Park System (which also includes Douglass and Garfield Park). These three parks—connected by the Boulevard Park System—were established to provide Chicago residents with some relief from the congested landscape of the city. \nIn a city known for its cultural and ethnic diversity\, Humboldt Park stands out as the center of Puerto Rican culture in both Chicago and the American Midwest. Since the 1960s\, it has been home to Chicago’s Puerto Rican community. This thought-provoking tour explores the history of the iconic West Side neighborhood through the public art proudly displayed along the six blocks of Division Street (Paseo Boricua) and in Humboldt Park. \n$25\, $22.50 members \nTour runs approximately 90 minutes. Meet at Ciclo Urbano\, 2459 W. Division Street\, Chicago\, IL 60622. \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date. \nMasks are optional for our outdoor walking tours. Learn more about our COVID-19 safety policies and procedures. \nTour presented in partnership with Paseo Boricua Tour Company.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Glitterati on the Gold Coast
DESCRIPTION:Join a CHM History Buff volunteer guide and whisk away to a time when Chicago’s rich and famous caroused on the coast. “Gold Coast” refers to a stretch of expensive lakefront property occupied by the city’s wealthiest residents. Before the opening of the Michigan Avenue Bridge (now DuSable Bridge) in 1920\, it was isolated from the downtown business district and home to only a few wealthy families\, such as the McCormicks\, Palmers\, and Ryersons. \nThe area soon became the heart of the upper crust of Chicago society. Sociologist Harvey Warren Zorbaugh\, who claimed that college boys returning from the East Coast dubbed the area the “Gold Coast\,” immortalized it in his book The Gold Coast and the Slum: A Sociological Study of Chicago’s Near North Side (University of Chicago Press\, 1929; reprint 1983). The density of wealth in the Gold Coast buffered it against the deterioration that threatened other portions of the North Side in the 1950s. \nGaze at ornate architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan\, step onto a rare wood-block alleyway\, and take in Chicago’s early mansions\, including the Archbishop’s Residence. \nTour runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Meet at the Chicago History Museum. \n$25; $22.50 members  \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Bronzeville
DESCRIPTION:Join author and historian Bernard Turner on this walking tour and see the names and contributions of Chicago’s most influential African Americans on the Walk of Fame\, landmarks\, public art reflecting the histories of the neighborhood\, and stories about the ways African Americans shaped the history and culture of this South Side neighborhood. \nThe Great Migration\, a long-term movement of African Americans from the South to the urban North\, transformed Chicago and other northern cities between 1916 and 1970. Chicago attracted slightly more than 500\,000 of the approximately 7 million African Americans who left the South during these decades. Before this migration\, African Americans constituted 2 percent of Chicago’s population; by 1970\, they were 33 percent. What had been in the 19th century a largely southern and rural African American culture became a culture deeply infused with urban sensibility in the 20th century. And what had been a marginalized population in Chicago emerged by the mid-20th century as a powerful force in the city’s political\, economic\, and cultural life \n$25\, $22.50 members  \nTour runs 1.5 to 2 hours.
