SUMMARY:The Guild Presents | The Watergate Girl with Jill Wine-Banks
DESCRIPTION:At the crossroads of the Watergate scandal and the women’s movement stood a young lawyer\, barely thirty years old and the only woman on the team that prosecuted the highest-ranking White House officials. Called “the mini-skirted lawyer” by the press\, she fought to receive the respect accorded her male counterparts―and prevailed. \nOver brunch\, Jill Wine-Banks takes us inside her trial by fire as a Watergate prosecutor as she discusses her book The Watergate Girl: My Fight for Truth and Justice Against a Criminal President (2020). \n$90 per ticket. Dress Code: Please note that the Saddle & Cycle Club requires smart casual or business attire. Denim and jeans are not permitted. Learn more on the club’s website.  \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Kukla\, Fran and Ollie Days
DESCRIPTION:“Here we are\, back with you again!” \nJoin us to watch select episodes of Kukla\, Fran and Ollie on the big screen in our Robert R. McCormick Theater. Be sure to also visit Madame Ooglepuss in Chicago: Crossroads of America on the second floor. \nIn 1947\, puppeteer Burr Tillstrom brought an extraordinary troupe of performers already familiar to many Chicagoans to local television station WBKB. Joined by their front-of-stage friend Fran Allison\, the Kuklapolitans—Oliver J. Dragon\, Beulah Witch\, Cecil Bill\, Madame Ooglepuss\, Fletcher Rabbit\, Colonel Crackie\, and Kukla himself—were welcomed into hundreds of thousands of American homes on network television shows of a variety of lengths and formats in the 1950s. Working without a script\, the cast of Kukla\, Fran and Ollie improvised conversations about everyday life laced with humor\, astute commentary on current events\, original music\, and perennial features. While the show left network air in 1957 due to cost issues\, in 1970 it reappeared on PBS for a 26-part series produced by WTTW. \nIncluded with general admission.

SUMMARY:OUT at CHM | Panel Discussion: 100 Years of LGBTQIA+ Rights: Henry Gerber and the Society for Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:Many people believe that the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights in the United States began with the Stonewall Riots of 1969\, but there is a much longer history of activism and community building in the pre-Stonewall era. Even before the earlier Homophile Movement of the 1950s and 1960s\, sexual and gender minorities found creative ways to carve a space for themselves in a deeply oppressive society.   \nIn 1924\, Henry Gerber founded the Society for Human Rights\, the first gay rights organization in the US\, right here in Chicago. Inspired by the Homosexual Emancipation movement in Germany around the turn of the 20th century\, the Society for Human Rights offered a small but critical source of connection between homosexual men long before the rise of the gay liberation movement or today’s modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement.  \nJoin us to celebrate the centennial anniversary of this organization with a conversation about Henry Gerber’s life\, the history of the early gay rights movement in the US\, and the ongoing influence of the Society for Human Rights and Chicago’s central place in queer history.   \n$12; $8 members  \nThis program is provided in partnership with the Gerber/Hart Library and Archives.
