For days, African Americans were beaten and killed in a city whose first non-Indigenous resident was the Black man Jean Baptiste Point du Sable. Black work- ers couldn’t go to their jobs in the Union Stockyards, steel mills or downtown. The violence started July 27, 1919, when five young Black men went to a beach on a hot Sunday afternoon. They climbed aboard a raft that they had helped build, went out into Lake Michigan and started diving from the vessel. Chicago is a segregated city. It was worse a century ago.

It encourages students to develop their courses of study in dialogue with our city through facilitating internships, service opportunities, and other kinds of engagement, and through academic offerings like the Chicago Studies Quarter, thesis workshops, and the provision of excursions for courses. TWe believe that this produces not only richer, more deeply informed academic work, but also more thoughtful, humanistic interaction with the city and its most pressing questions.

    Look to the rock from which you were hewn Vol. 34, No. 4, Fall 2010 chicago jewish historical societ y chicago jewish history Save the Date! Sunday, December 12 – Open Meeting: “Hannah’s Daughters: The National Council of Jewish Women” “Hannah’s Daughters: The National Council of Jewish Women” will be the subject of the next open meeting of the CJHS on Sunday, December 12, at Temple Beth Israel, 3601 West Dempster Street, Skokie. The program will begin at 2:00 p.m., and will be followed by a social hour with kosher refreshments. A guest panel of three NCJW activists—Carole Levine, Dawn Brent, and Cindy Wolfson—will discuss the past, present, and future of the organization, which originated in our city. In 1893, Hannah Greenebaum Solomon was asked to organize Hannah Greenebaum the participation of Jewish women in the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Solomon (1858-1942) When Hannah and her recruits discovered that participation was not substantive, but would consist of pouring coffee and other hostess duties, they walked out. Hannah then took matters into her own hands, building on the courageous action and volunteer work she had been leading for years in Chicago. By the end of the fair, Hannah and the accompanying delegate body of women had founded the NCJW, changing forever the role of American Jewish women and the nature of volunteerism. Admission is free and open to the public. There is ample parking in the Temple lot. For further information, e-mail [email protected] or phone the Society office (312) 663-5634.
