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. For all other questions\, contact Michael Anderson at manderson@chicagohistory.org or (312) 799-2142.

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.

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:Partner Event | “Third Act” Film Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Museum for a screening of Third Act (2025) and discussion moderated by researcher and curatorial assistant Dr. Lisa Doi featuring: \n\nTadashi Nakamura\, director and co-writer of Third Act\ntraci kato-kiriyama\, community artist and organizer\nRebecca Ozaki\, Japanese American Citizen’s League Chicago Chapter program director\n\nGenerations of artists call Robert A. Nakamura “the godfather of Asian American media\,” but his son and the director of the Japanese American National Museum ’s Frank H. Watase Media Arts Center\, Tadashi “Tad” Nakamura\, calls him Dad. As Parkinson’s disease clouds Robert’s memory\, Tad sets out to retrieve his story—and in the process discovers his own. \nUsing the lessons Robert taught him\, Tad deciphers the legacy of an aging man who was just a child when he survived America’s concentration camps\, a successful photographer who gave it up to tell his own story\, an activist at the dawn of a social movement—and a father whose struggles won his son freedoms that eluded Japanese Americans of his generation. Throughout the years they have made films together\, with Robert always by Tad’s side. Third Act is most likely their last. \n$10; free for CHM members. \nSchedule\n2:00 p.m. – Film screening begins\n3:30 p.m. – Panel discussion begins\n4:00 p.m. – Event concludes \nQuestions?
