Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

    The Legacy Wall: Our Illinois Connection JANE ADDAMS 2012 Legacy Walk Inductee Lesbian U.S. Social Justice Pioneer and Author (1860-1935) In 1889 she co-founded Hull House in Chicago, one of the first settlement houses in the United States. A leading feminist and suffragette, she called attention to poverty, child labor, public health reform, race relations, adverse working conditions, and prostitution among poor urban women. Addams, a life-long pacifist, was elected president of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in 1915. In 1920 she was instrumental in establishing the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). In recognition of a lifetime dedicated to advancing social justice, Jane Addams was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. The love of her life, Mary Rozet Smith, arrived at Hull House in 1889 and supported Addams life and work through a relationship that endured more than 40 years. ALBERT D. J.

  • Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame Announces 2016 Inductees
    ChicagoPride.com News August 22, 2016 Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame announces 2016 inductees CHICAGO, IL -- Twelve individuals, two organizations, and two friends of the community have been selected for induction into the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, the organization which honors and celebrates notable members of Chicago's LGBT communities. The Hall of Fame's annual induction ceremony will take place on Wednesday, November 9, from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at the Chicago History Museum, 1601 N. Clark St., Chicago, IL The reception will begin at 5:30 p.m., with the program scheduled to follow at 6:00 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. The inductees were selected by a committee composed of current individual inductees who reviewed an array of nominations submitted by members of the public. The names were released by Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, a section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. "This year's inductees, like our rosters since 1991, represent LGBT achievements in a variety of fields," said Mary Morten and Gary G. Chichester, co-chairs of the Friends organization and longtime leaders in maintaining the Hall of Fame. "Each year, the Hall of Fame spotlights some of the many who have made contributions to their own communities and to the city as a whole." "It continues to show how important contributions from our LGBT communities and from our friends pave the way for the future," said Israel Wright, executive director of the organization. "It is humbling to recognize each inductee's special efforts to create change in ways that affect us all so greatly." Hall of Fame inductees fall into one of three categories: "individual," "organization," or "friend of the community." Nominees represent all of Chicago's sexual-minority communities, including LGBT Chicagoans, past and present, living and dead, as well as those who have supported or assisted them.

  • Playhouse on the Square Programs Collection
    PLAYHOUSE ON THE SQUARE PROGRAMS COLLECTION Processed by Joan Cannon Memphis and Shelby County Room Memphis Public library and Information Center 2008 PLAYHOUSE ON THE SQUARE PROGRAMS COLLECTION The Playhouse on the Square Programs Collection was donated to the Memphis Public Library and information Centers by several individuals over many years. The programs were then gathered together to create this collection. Playhouse on the Square was formed when $30,000 from Overton Square was provided for renovation of the 2121 Madison building along with increased funding from the Memphis Arts Council. A production of Godspell was performed at the grand opening on November 12, 1975. Memphis now had a professional theatre after a seven-year hiatus. Beverly Baxter, John Dunavant, Michael Jeter and Larry Riley were among the fine actors who performed during the first season. They later worked in Hollywood and New York. In 1981 Playhouse initiated the intern program. They assist in all phases of production. By 1985 the 2121 Madison building was becoming inadequate. Seating was limited and Overton Square was sold. The old Memphian Theatre, located on Cooper near Union, was available to lease. Instead of leasing, the Theatre was purchased. Money was raised to renovate the building. The opening celebration was held on November 13, 1985 with a production of Gypsy. It was also the inauguration of the newly renovated theatre. In 1990 Playhouse instituted the City’s first independent theatre school. The Theatre was the recipient of the 1990 Governors Award in the Arts. Customers interested in the development of theater in Memphis may also wish to consult the Theatre Memphis Programs Collection, Circuit Playhouse Programs Collection, Memphis Open Air Theater Collection and the Ethel Taylor Maxwell Collection.
