ʺWelcome to ʺChicago in 1919,ʺ a multimedia history education program. The story of Chicago in 1919 opens early in the year as a time of new visions, big ideas and great promise. The year slams closed like a door on many of those visions and visionaries. However, before the door could slam completely shut, new ideas in science and technology, the arts, race relations and more had taken root in the sandy soil on the shores of Lake Michigan. Starting with a rich library of 500 mostly primary sources of the period, student and teacher historians using ʺChicago in 1919ʺ will be called upon to read and write, and to use all their creative, critical and analytical powers to understand how urban society develops, and how that story is told.ʺ Quelle: Anbieter
