Description:

NU in Chicago’s spring 2023 trip invites students to learn more about Chicago’s history of police torture and the fight for reparations and justice for the survivors of this torture. Participants will have the opportunity to tour the Chicago Torture Justice Center and hear from a panel of police torture survivors and Torture Justice Center staff. The event will be facilitated by Dr. Patricia Nguyen, PhD alum of NU and current Assistant Professor in American Studies at the University of Virginia. Dr. Nguyen is the designer of the forthcoming Chicago Torture Justice Memorial, a commemoration of this shameful chapter in the city’s history. The trip is free to students and includes transportation and lunch.
This event is co-sponsored by NU in Chicago (at the Center for Civic Engagement) and One Book One Northwestern. Register here!
