  • FY2016 Annual Report Sharing Our Story Through Art, Culture and Education
    FY2016 Annual Report Sharing our story through art, culture and education 329 W. 18th Street, Suite 506 Chicago, IL 60616 (312) 421-8040 www.changingworlds.org A Letter from Our Founder and Board President As we reflect on Changing Worlds's accomplishments in 2016, we take note of our beginnings 20 years ago as a photography and oral history project in one Chicago Public School. We marvel at the organization's growth and its exciting developments in programming over these years, and we affirm its mission with new urgency. In 2016, we had 57 in-school and after-school residencies in 27 schools and community partnership sites, serving more than 10,200 students. This would not have been possible without the generosity and support of more than 400 donors and sponsors. As you will read in this report, our arts instruction included an array of visual arts mediums, cultural dances, drama, poetry and video production. Changing Worlds draws on the power of the arts and personal stories to build bridges and to engage young people in explorations of identity, culture, family, community and history. This year we saw a growing interest in issues of social justice and peace. Students engaged in passionate discussions and expressed strong feelings in their writing and art-making. As the year unfolded, the urgency of our mission became painfully clear. The violence in the neighborhoods of many of our students, ongoing racial tension, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric, and the divisiveness of our national election were grave reminders of the importance of our work.

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).

  • Annual Report 2005
    ANNUAL REPORT 2005 CROSSROADS F U N D change, not charity Four decades later I am still uncomfortable with the credit given to me for starting the bus “ boycott. I would like [people] to know I was not the only person involved. I was just one of many who fought for freedom… As I look back on those days, it’s just like a dream. The only thing that bothered me was that we waited so long to make this protest “ and to let it be known wherever we go that all of us should be free and equal and have all opportunities that others should have. Rosa Parks WE DEDICATE THIS ANNUAL REPORT TO ROSA PARKS. In school we learned Rosa Parks was too tired to give up her seat to a white rider, that her long day working as a seamstress left her too exhausted to move, that weariness is what motivated her defiance of the law in segregated Montgomery, Alabama, 1955. Our schoolbooks obscured the real story, the real Rosa Parks. Ms. Parks was an evolving community activist. She served as Secretary of the Montgomery NAACP from 1943 to 1957 and attended the Highlander Folk School, an education center for workers’ rights and racial equality in Tennessee only six months before she sat on that particular bus. She was not the first black bus rider to have been arrested in Montgomery for refusing to move. Rather, she became central to a campaign organized by black activists, including herself, to create fundamental change on the local level, change that would have a catalytic effect on the civil rights movement in our country.
