Join us as we travel to Chicago's Lawndale neighborhood, where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. lived and fought for fair housing practices with the Chicago Freedom Movement in the late 1960s. We will tour the Lawndale Christian Development Corporation’s MLK Fair Housing Exhibit (newly opened at the site where Dr. King and his family lived) and hear from community members, scholars, and activists currently working for change in Chicago. The event will close with a brief reception and discussion in Chicago before returning to campus. This event is free for students — transportation, refreshments and all admission fees are provided – but space is limited. For more information and to sign up, visit www.nuinchicago.org
