Emancipation to Inauguration

Acorn Public Library District - Librarian, Neighbor

"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, pre-dating the Migration by some 150 years. Join musician/historian Clarence Goodman as he takes us on a virtual tour of Chicago and its pivotal role in black history.
