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).

She has been fighting in and out of the cage, and still continues her battle while also fighting off the grips of Father Time. She is a mother of one teenage daughter and now dating Amy Pierson. Fox has been living in the Chicago area—now, the northwest suburbs—for eight years, coming to the Windy City to escape gender issues within her family. Fox spoke exclusively with Windy City Times’ reporter Ross Forman to discuss her battles in and out of the cage, her long-term goals to aid the LGBT community, and more. BY ROSS FORMAN Fallon Fox was at a crowded sports bar in the Chicago area on Dec. 28, 2013, among a throng of vocal, dedicated Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fans, many anxiously waiting for that Saturday night’s women’s bantamweight championship bout when Ronda couple runs Rousey faced archrival Miesha Tate in the co-main event of UFC 168, held at the MGM career boot Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. camp Turn to page 17 pagE 9 Fallon Fox.

  • Media Arts Projects That Received NEA Funding
    Sep 2018 Under the Freedom of Information Act, agencies are required to proactively disclose frequently requested records. Often the National Endowment for the Arts receives requests for examples of funded grant proposals for various disciplines. In response, the NEA is providing examples of the “Project Information” also called the ”narrative” for six successful Media Arts projects that received NEA funding. The selected examples are not the entire funded grant proposal and only contain the grant narrative and selected portions. In addition, certain portions may have been redacted to protect the privacy interests of an individual and/or to protect confidential commercial and financial information and/or to protect copyrighted materials. The following narratives have been selected as examples because they represent a diversity of project types and are well written. Although each project was funded by the NEA, please note that nothing should be inferred about the ranking of each application within its respective applicant pool. We hope that you will find these records useful as examples of well written narratives. However please keep in mind that because each project is unique, these narratives should be used as references, rather than templates. If you are preparing your own application and have any questions, please contact the appropriate program office.

Some elusive, others printed indelibly on the brain.” —Kasi Lemmons, Eve’s Bayou (1997) hen we fi rst began to assemble this In Focus on black media, our excitement was quickly tempered by the enormity of the undertaking.1 Should the essays focus on mainstream or in- dependent media? Would the contributors emphasize texts, pedagogy, or research? To what extent should we address issues of Widentity facing not only this type of scholarship but also the scholars themselves? Ultimately, we decided to take on all these questions, using Stuart Hall’s provocation “What Is This ‘Black’ in Black Popular Cul- ture?” as both prompt and connective thread. Written in 1992, Hall’s essay still carries particular resonance for this contemporary moment in media history. Hall makes it clear that issues of identity, represen- tation, and politics will always converge around blackness. Further, Hall’s own academic background reminds us that, as a fi eld, black media studies has always drawn on discourses and scholarship from multiple academic disciplines. This context is particularly important 1 We have chosen to use the term black when describing media texts and elements of popular culture and African American when referring to individuals and groups of people. In the essays that follow, however, the authors use these terms in many different ways.
