Description:

In his latest book, Northwestern University theater professorHarvey Young illuminates 40 years of African American culture in Chicago. His powerful collection of oral histories includes interviews with prominent producers, directors, choreographers, designers, dancers, and actors who changed Chicago’s theatrical landscape from 1970 to 2010. In this exclusive CHF program, Young is joined by one of Chicago’s favorite sons, actor Harry Lennix (The Blacklist, Man of Steel) to provide context and commentary for these singularly engrossing stories. This program is presented in partnership with the School of Communication at Northwestern University.
