Join local author, Dr. Leslie K. Best, for a historical presentation based on her book, Silhouettes of the Past: Growing Up in Chicago During the 50s and 60s:
This is not just a memoir of growing up in the 1950s and 1960s but a reflection on Chicago’s past, including historical data that led to the experiences rather directly or indirectly that impacted the author’s life growing up on the South Side of Chicago. It encompasses the 1893 Chicago World Columbian Exposition, the 1919 race riot in Bronzeville, and the attempts to maintain racial barriers between blacks and whites, such as restrictive covenants. Dr. Best shares her experiences as her family journeys from the Woodlawn, Hyde Park, and Chatham communities in search of a better life.
Registration is encouraged.
