SUMMARY:Author Talk | Our Girl Tuesday: An Unfurling for Dr. Margaret T.G. Burroughs
DESCRIPTION:Art is a powerful catalyst for change. In all its forms\, art has a unique capacity to build awareness\, understanding\, and solidarity for ideas and movements. \nJoin us as coauthors and coeditors Tempestt Hazel\, Skyla S. Hearn\, and Sarah Ross discuss Our Girl Tuesday: An Unfurling for Dr. Margaret T.G Burroughs (2023)\, the influence and impact of Dr. Burroughs\, and the power of memory\, remembrance\, activism\, and archives. \nLouisiana-born and Chicago-raised artist\, activist\, educator\, historian\, and institution builder Dr. Margaret T.G. Burroughs (1915–2010) poured her interconnected and multimodal advocacy into her praxis of care\, love\, and visions of freedom for Black people. \nOur Girl Tuesday presents a collection of essays\, interviews\, poetry\, art and archives that honor and reflect the immense influence Dr. Burroughs had on the political and cultural life of Chicago and the lives of people she met. The contributors to the Zine include artists\, poets\, writers\, educators\, activists\, curators\, and scholars who pulled from existing archives\, gathered new materials and created new works to be entered into the living archive of Dr. Burroughs. \nThis collection iterates the impact of Dr. Burroughs and her politics of culture\, care\, freedom\, and love for Black people. A special section of the publication includes an unfurling\, a social practice introduced to this project by Skyla Hearn whereby people\, as liberatory memory workers\, pull materials from existing archives and share what those materials mean to them. \nFree: RSVP required.

SUMMARY:Members' Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:At our 2024 Members’ Annual Meeting\, hear from key CHM staff and board members about what we have accomplished this year and the Museum’s upcoming plans\, including the opening of Injustice: The Trial for the Murder of Emmett Till. Members will learn more about Emmett Till and this historic exhibition from Charles Bethea\, Andrew W. Mellon Director of Curatorial Affairs. \n“The murder of my son has shown me that what happens to any of us\, anywhere in the world\, had better be the business of us all.” —Mamie Till-Mobley \nIn 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. Injustice: The Trial for the Murder of Emmett Till 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. Such injustices were challenged by the courageous actions of Emmett’s mother\, Mamie Till-Mobley\, and others who boldly stand in the face of racial injustice. This exhibition prompts visitors to consider how Emmett’s legacy continues in those seeking justice for Black lives today. \nFree to members; RSVP required.

SUMMARY:Bus Tour | The Story of Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley with Dilla Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Join Chicago urban historian Shermann “Dilla” Thomas on an engaging bus tour of key Chicago sites important to Emmett Till’s life and that humanize the well-known story of his harrowing death. \nIn 1955\, news of the tragic\, racially motivated abduction and murder of Emmett Till\, a 14-year-old African American from Chicago\, while visiting relatives in Mississippi shook the nation. Lynchings of African Americans were uncommon enough by the 1950s that the horrific nature of the killing of a young boy permeated the national consciousness. The decision of his mother\, Mamie Till-Mobley\, to have an open casket funeral and make known the brutality of his murder helped propel the story into people’s hearts and minds. Still\, the impact of anti-Black racism and white supremacy shaped both legal and public responses to his murder. \nThe following trial of his killers\, Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam\, and their subsequent acquittal by an all-white jury\, Till’s story became a catalyst for the next stages of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. \nAs you traverse the city with Dilla\, learn about Emmett’s early childhood\, Mamie’s life\, and more as you visit sites such as Mamie Till-Mobley’s home in Chicago and the Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ where Till’s funeral took place. \nTour runs 2–3 hours and starts and ends at the Chicago History Museum. \n$55; $45 members

SUMMARY:Virtual Urban History Seminar | “Islam on a City Campus”
DESCRIPTION:The Urban History Seminar series feature a scholarly presentation followed by lively discussion. Abdul Basith Basheer\, a PhD student in history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, presents “Islam on a City Campus: Muslim Student Community Building and Activism at UIC.” \nThis talk examines the history of shifting Muslim student identities and the cultivation of a community since the 1960s at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC)\, an inner-city institution nestled between Chicago’s Greektown and Little Italy neighborhoods. Historically\, UIC has been known as the university of choice for Chicago’s working class and first-generation college students. Drawing on university archival material and oral histories conducted with Muslim alumni living in Chicagoland\, Abdul provides us with a close examination of urban Muslim history. Ultimately\, he argues that Muslim student identity at UIC was the product of different viewpoints\, ideologies\, and understandings of both religion and religious identity within a cosmopolitan urban space like Chicago and its surrounding metro area. \nThe Zoom session will open at 6:45 p.m. with the program starting at 7:00 p.m. and concluding by 8:15 p.m. RSVP is required. \nThis session is free of charge; we would greatly appreciate a donation to the Museum in any amount. A Zoom link will be provided after registration. \nThe Urban History Seminars have been generously underwritten by the Chicago History Museum since 1983. \n

SUMMARY:Commemorative Day | Latine Heritage Month

SUMMARY:Bus Tour | The Story of Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley with Dilla Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Join Chicago urban historian Shermann “Dilla” Thomas on an engaging bus tour of key Chicago sites important to Emmett Till’s life and that humanize the well-known story of his harrowing death. \nIn 1955\, news of the tragic\, racially motivated abduction and murder of Emmett Till\, a 14-year-old African American from Chicago\, while visiting relatives in Mississippi shook the nation. Lynchings of African Americans were uncommon enough by the 1950s that the horrific nature of the killing of a young boy permeated the national consciousness. The decision of his mother\, Mamie Till-Mobley\, to have an open casket funeral and make known the brutality of his murder helped propel the story into people’s hearts and minds. Still\, the impact of anti-Black racism and white supremacy shaped both legal and public responses to his murder. \nThe following trial of his killers\, Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam\, and their subsequent acquittal by an all-white jury\, Till’s story became a catalyst for the next stages of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. \nAs you traverse the city with Dilla\, learn about Emmett’s early childhood\, Mamie’s life\, and more as you visit sites such as Mamie Till-Mobley’s home in Chicago and the Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ where Till’s funeral took place. \nTour runs 2–3 hours and starts and ends at the Chicago History Museum. \n$55; $45 members
