Chicago's Bronzeville Neighborhood In-Person
The Bronzeville area has a fascinating history that goes back to pre-Civil War days and was strongly shaped by the Great Migration. This richly illustrated lecture will take you from the early times right up to the present, with an emphasis on the glory days of what was known as Black Metropolis. Presented by architectural historian Laurie Petersen, the editor of the AIA Guide to Chicago, the most comprehensive guide to the city's buildings.
