SUMMARY:The Guild Presents | Sketching Emmett Till’s Legacy
DESCRIPTION:In 1955\, the murder of Emmett Till\, a Black teenager from Chicago\, and the subsequent criminal trial in Tallahatchie County\, Mississippi\, attracted international attention and sparked the Civil Rights Movement. The Guild of the Chicago History Museum invites you to a talk featuring Margot McMahon\, daughter of Franklin McMahon\, the artist-reporter who sketched the trial of Till’s murderers for Life magazine\, and Northwestern University professor Christopher Benson\, an esteemed writer and scholar on Till who contributed to our exhibition Injustice: The Trial for the Murder of Emmett Till. \nInjustice begins with photographs of a joyful Emmett in life and of his funeral attended by thousands. The trial proceedings are then shared through courtroom sketches by Franklin McMahon. These drawings give a visual account of a trial that amplified the inequities Black Americans face within the US court system\, including a lack of equal protection under the law. Learn how Emmett’s mother\, Mamie Till-Mobley\, boldly stood in the face of racial injustice\, and consider how Emmett’s legacy continues in those seeking justice for Black lives today. \n$50; includes coffee and pastries. \nSchedule\n10:00 a.m. – Coffee and pastries served\n10:30 a.m. – Speaker presentation begins\n11:30 a.m. – Walkthrough of Injustice: The Trial for the Murder of Emmett Till exhibition \nTo purchase tickets over the phone\, call Jessica Quintero at (312) 799-2111.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour | Historic Old Town
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago History Museum sits on the edge of Old Town\, a neighborhood rich in history. The Chicago area was home to the Potawatomi\, whose villages were built on these lands. After they were forcibly removed\, German farmers settled there to make their homes. Since then\, it has served as an enclave for Puerto Rican migrants\, a home to the first gay rights organization in the US\, as well a vibrant arts scene. \nJoin CHM volunteer Carol Fitzgibbons to explore stories of recovery from the 1871 Great Chicago Fire and the neighborhood as the center of Chicago bohemianism in the 1960s and ’70s. Highlights include a post-Fire shelter cottage\, the Midwest Buddhist Temple\, numerous historic residences\, and St. Michael’s Church\, one of only seven buildings to survive the fire. \n$25\, $22.50 members  \nTour runs 1.5 to 2 hours. Meet at the Chicago History Museum.  \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date.

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion | "Walls of Respect: Norman Parish and the Parish Art Gallery"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Walls of Respect: Norman Parish and the Parish Art Gallery\, followed by a discussion with Norman Parish III\, a son of the artist\, art appraiser Diane Dinkins-Carr\, and artist Richmond Jones\, whose work was shown in Parish Gallery and who appears in the documentary. \nAn African American artist and art dealer\, Norman Parish (1937–2013) founded Parish Gallery in Washington\, DC\, which focused on African American artists when other galleries were less interested in showing their works. Parish was also one of the artists who helped create the Wall of Respect\, a former South Side mural credited with sparking other murals globally. The work is highlighted in our current exhibition Designing for Change: Chicago Protest Art of the 1960s–70s. \nWalls of Respect considers structural limitations on African Americans and their trajectories as artists and simultaneously provides a narrative focused on moments of advancement. The documentary film incorporates interviews with many of the artists who exhibited at Parish Gallery\, along with professionals from the Smithsonian archive and the Art Institute of Chicago\, to address the significance its founder had on artists’ careers and the DC culture. \nWalls of Respect: Norman Parish and the Parish Art Gallery\nSME Media\, LLC.\nDirector/Producer: Susan Ericsson\nCo-Producer: Norman Parish \n$15\, $10 members.

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. \nTour also includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum\, good for one week from tour date.
