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? Contact Nell McKeown\, development events manager\, at mckeown@chicagohistory.org or (312) 799-2112.

SUMMARY:Partner Event | Dave Truitt Historical Documentary Series: "A City at War: Chicago"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free screening of A City at War: Chicago and a panel discussion with retired Navy commander and professor of military psychology Joseph E. Troiani\, PhD\, filmmaker Brian Kallies\, and activist and president emerita of the Women’s Business Development Center Hedy Ratner\, moderated by reporter Mike Flannery. Using interviews\, rare film footage\, vintage propaganda movies\, period posters and stills\, the film brings to life a vital chapter in US history.    \nA City at War: Chicago tells the story of the most significant events that occurred in Chicagoland during World War II and explores the mutually beneficial relationship between President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Chicago mayor Ed Kelly. For the first time\, with men away fighting the war\, tens of thousands of women found employment in factories making everything from bullets and bombs to ships\, tanks and planes. African Americans—including the nation’s first group of African American commissioned naval officers—and the city’s many other communities worked together like never before to insure the Allied victory. And perhaps the most important event of the entire war took place when the University of Chicago made its contribution to the top-secret Manhattan Project. \nFree; RSVP required.  \nSchedule \n12:30 p.m. – Theater doors open; snacks available 1:00 p.m. – Film screening 2:30 p.m. – Panel discussion\n3:00 p.m. – Event concludes  \nA CITY AT WAR: CHICAGO and the Dave Truitt Historical Documentary Series are underwritten exclusively by DAVE TRUITT \nQuestions?
