We have steadily increased the number of lives we touch by increasing the number of programs we offer. In 2007 alone, we offered Chicago teens nearly 900 programs with a collective 28,000 opportunities, which is a significant expansion from the 180 teens across three high schools we served when we first began. Here are a few highlights from 2007: • After School Matters has expanded programming to 17 new high schools, bringing the total to 58 throughout the City of Chicago. In addition, we are currently partnering with over 100 community-based organizations. • In May, our teens provided the backdrop for the visit and public talk of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet at Millennium Park’s Pritzker Pavilion. Teen apprentices painted more than 1,000 square feet of banners in traditional Tibetan style at four of our campuses. All 7 banners came together to create an elaborate backdrop viewed by the 11,000 visitors who attended the Dalai Lama’s talk. • This summer, 15 apprentices working together in a program at the Gary Comer Youth Center were awarded Student Emmys by the National Academy for Television Arts & Sciences for their film “In the Pocket,” a documentary about their community. Apprentices from our Traditional Animation Apprenticeship at Gallery 37 won Best Chicago Film at Chicago’s Future Filmmakers Festival for their animated short “Sounds of Planet Chicago.” • Launched by Abbott, our science37 program completed its first semester of programming. At Lindblom College Prep High School, teens in the 21st Century Bioscience: Solving Global Health Issues Apprenticeship studied the design, discovery, and development of drugs, as well as labs involving DNA science, or “the CSI type of technology." The program culminated with apprentices choosing global health crises that could benefit from the development of new pharmaceuticals. Teens created posters outlining how companies would need to research, develop, test, refine, find approval, market, and sell those pharmaceuticals to the public. • Over the course of a four-year study, researchers at the Chapin Hall Center for Children at the University of Chicago concluded that students who had high rates of attendance in our programs also had higher graduation rates than peers who did not participate in our programs, while students who participated in several semesters of our programs had increasingly higher graduation rates compared to their peers who did not participate. Helping Chicago teens achieve their highest potential is at the heart of what we do. With the support of foundation and corporate funders, individual donors, and public partners, After School Matters has created a solid network of out-of-school opportunities for teens that equip them with valuable skills while inspiring optimism about their futures. On behalf of the thousands of teens we serve, thank you for helping make such a positive impact on their lives. Cordially, Maggie Daley Chair After School Matters Annual Report 2006 - 2007 After School Matters Annual Report 2006 - 2007 page 3 of 23 After School Matters Annual Report Page 1 of 1 About After School Matters Through After School Matters, teens participate in beneficial activities that keep them engaged, learning, and safe while developing their potential.

  • Chinatown and Urban Redevelopment: a Spatial Narrative of Race, Identity, and Urban Politics 1950 – 2000
    CHINATOWN AND URBAN REDEVELOPMENT: A SPATIAL NARRATIVE OF RACE, IDENTITY, AND URBAN POLITICS 1950 – 2000 BY CHUO LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles, Chair Professor Dianne Harris Associate Professor Martin Manalansan Associate Professor Faranak Miraftab Abstract The dissertation explores the intricate relations between landscape, race/ethnicity, and urban economy and politics in American Chinatowns. It focuses on the landscape changes and spatial struggles in the Chinatowns under the forces of urban redevelopment after WWII. As the world has entered into a global era in the second half of the twentieth century, the conditions of Chinatown have significantly changed due to the explosion of information and the blurring of racial and cultural boundaries. One major change has been the new agenda of urban land planning which increasingly prioritizes the rationality of capital accumulation. The different stages of urban redevelopment have in common the deliberate efforts to manipulate the land uses and spatial representations of Chinatown as part of the socio-cultural strategies of urban development. A central thread linking the dissertation’s chapters is the attempt to examine the contingent and often contradictory production and reproduction of socio-spatial forms in Chinatowns when the world is increasingly structured around the dynamics of economic and technological changes with the new forms of global and local activities. Late capitalism has dramatically altered city forms such that a new understanding of the role of ethnicity and race in the making of urban space is required.

  • Report and Opinion
    Report and Opinion Concerning the Impact of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Cultural Landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, Illinois Including the Project’s Compatibility with Basic Policies of the Lakefront Plan of Chicago and the Purposes of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance By: Malcolm D. Cairns, FASLA Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 15, 2018 Assessing the Effect of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Historic Landscape of Jackson Park Prepared by: Malcolm Cairns, FASLA; Historic Landscape Consultant For: The Barack Obama Foundation Date: May 15, 2018 Statement of purpose and charge: To develop the historic landscape analysis that places the proposal to locate the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park in its proper historic context. This investigation was undertaken at the request of Richard F. Friedman of the law firm of Neal & Leroy, LLC, on behalf of the Barack Obama Foundation. The assignment was to investigate the proposed Obama Presidential Center master plan and to assess the effect of the project on the historic cultural landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, a park listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This investigation has necessitated a thorough review of the cultural landscape history of Jackson Park, the original South Park, of which Jackson Park was an integral part, and of the history of the Chicago Park and Boulevard system. Critical in this landscape research were previous studies which resulted in statements of historic landscape significance and historic integrity, studies which listed historic landscape character-defining elements, and other documentation which provided both large and small scale listings of historic landscape form, structure, detail, and design intent which contribute to the historic character of the Park.
