Chicago: Emancipation to Inauguration (River Forest Reads)

"Going to Chicago!" were the words composed, sung, and lived by African Americans during the Great Migration. From share-cropper to share-holder and from the shotgun shack to the White House, our town's Black Experience is vast, rich, and inspiring.

Join musician/historian Clarence Goodman as he takes us on a virtual tour of Chicago and its pivotal role in Black History and come help us kick off our first River Forest Reads community reading program!
