SUMMARY:Dr. King in North Lawndale: Housing Access in Chicago
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of April as Fair Housing Month\, join us for a panel exploring an impactful and often overlooked Chicago chapter in the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, and the legacy he left behind in the city’s fair housing landscape. \nIn January of 1966\, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. moved his family to the North Lawndale neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side. On the heels of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965\, Dr. King had set his sights on Chicago for his first major campaign outside the south\, joining the Chicago Freedom Movement’s efforts to combat discriminatory housing practices. Due in large part to his advocacy in Chicago and beyond\, legal protections from housing discrimination would finally be secured with the passage of the federal Fair Housing Act on April 11\, 1968\, six days after his assassination. \nOur panel discussion will contextualize Dr. King’s time in North Lawndale and his work with the Chicago Freedom Movement\, investigating the progress and ongoing challenges in combatting housing discrimination and access in Chicago spanning six decades. \nHear from distinguished panelists including Monica Chadha\, AIA\, LEED AP\, and founder of the architecture firm Civic Projects; Jonathan Eig\, journalist and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography\, King: A Life; Blanche Killingsworth\, president and founder of the North Lawndale Historical and Cultural Society; and Tim Swanson\, President & CEO of Inherent L3C. The discussion will be moderated by CAC’s CEO & President\, Eleanor Gorski.

SUMMARY:Constructing Housing During Crisis: Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of the role of temporary housing as a place of care and healing during the ongoing crisis. This program is hosted in collaboration with the exhibition Constructing Hope: Ukraine which is currently on view in the CAC’s Skyscraper Gallery through September 1\, 2025 \nFREE with Registration \nCurrently displayed in the CAC’s Skyscraper Gallery as part of the Constructing Hope: Ukraine exhibition\, Co-Haty is a project by the Ukrainian NGO MetaLab that provides temporary emergency accommodations for internally displaced people in Western Ukraine\, offering them solace in the aftermath of the Russian invasion. Approximately 12 million Ukrainians were compelled to abandon their homes\, with 6.5 million seeking refuge in the western part of the country. However\, decades of housing policy challenges revealed a shortage of affordable housing options. In response to this pressing need\, the Co-Haty team closely collaborates with local governments and an extensive network of agencies. \nJoin us for a presentation and conversation with Anna Dobrova\, co-founder of Metalab\, who will present her firm’s project that refurbishes and repurposes large\, vacant former Soviet municipal buildings into emergency shelters.
