SUMMARY:Reset on the Road at Jane Addams Hull-House Museum
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s your favorite scary story? And what makes it scary? Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons will explore all things fearsome at the historic (and plausibly haunted) Jane Addams Hull-House Museum on Wednesday\, October 26. Join us for this spooky live broadcast to learn about the cultural significance of creepy tales told throughout Chicago. \nPerhaps better known as a place of hope and social progress\, the paranormal past of Hull-House has long been hushed\, despite continued interest from ghost hunters. But current stewards of the institution are now reclaiming and celebrating its folklore\, including stories of the Lady in White\, the infamous Devil Baby and even a portal to hell. This free Reset on the Road event is crawling with opportunities to experience these urban legends firsthand! \nCome celebrate Halloween and watch radio happen in this notably eerie landmark. Wear a costume and you’ll get a treat!

SUMMARY:Reflections on 1919 with Eve L. Ewing
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation on 1919\, Black Chicago and Resilience. \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nA hot summer day set Chicago ablaze in 1919. Seventeen-year-old Eugene Williams crossed an invisible line in Lake Michigan that divided the segregated shores\, and he was killed by a group of white beachgoers. His death sparked a deadly 13-day riot. The fighting spread throughout the city\, then throughout the country in what became known as the Red Summer. In Chicago\, 38 people died\, more than 500 were injured\, and thousands were left homeless. \nThe ignition of the Red Summer proved that racism and prejudice had always existed in the north; it was just quieter here. And it’s a pervasive silence that’s lingered over a century – the scars of the Red Summer are still present\, open and bleeding in the underlying systems of inequity today. \nDr. Eve L. Ewing\, Chicago-based sociologist and poet\, explored the Red Summer and expanded on its lasting impact in her second collection of poems\, titled 1919. The book was recently adapted for the stage by J. Nicole Brooks and will make its world premiere at the Steppenwolf Theater this October. \nJoin WBEZ’s Sasha-Ann Simons for a reflective conversation about Chicago’s Red Summer with Dr. Ewing on October 12th at 7pm at the Logan Center. \nPhoto Credit: Mercedes Zapata
