For Sale by Owner Michigan City, Indiana THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 21, Number 23 Thursday, June 16, 2005 p Stan Holdcraft Directs Youth From Across the County in THE WIZ by Mary Fox One has to wonder if many Michi- gan City resi- dents have clicked their heels togeth- er, wishing Stan Hold- craft “home” to direct a play at the Elston Middle School stage. Until his retirement four years ago, Stan directed theater on that stage for 30 years. He was a director who helped young people find and polish their talent until the audience marveled that such performances could come from youth. Stan is back as the director of The Wiz for the Young People’s Theatre Company production June 17, 18 and 19 at Elston Middle School. He has returned in time for students who had seen his plays but arrived at Michigan City High School a semester too late to benefit from his exper- tise. “I always wanted to do a play with Holdcraft,” said Jacob Galloway, who has performed in a number of productions at Michigan City High School. Jacob explained, “Anyone who has been in theater could attest that you need- ed to experience the- ater under Hold- craft, because it was so much different than the other per- formances I’d been in.” The Wiz The scarecrow, the tinman, the lion and Dorothy come face to face with The Wiz.

  • 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.

APRIL 10 – 13 | HILTON ATLANTA • 1 We l c o m e Welcome to the 105th Annual Meeting of the Organization of American Historians! Meeting themes are rarely “ripped from the headlines” as if they were scripts from television’s Law and Order. However, the heated national debate over comprehensive immigration reform calls attention to American history’s perennial themes: the peopling of the United States and the great vitality derived from the diversity of the American population. “Crossing Borders,” then, seemed the appropriate choice to be the thematic focus of this year’s meeting.

Photo courtesy of Chinese-American informatics: Places, uses, resources. Museum of Chicago. Our interest here is to examine the population of Chicago, in particular a subset of ethnicities and community areas, and analyze how these communities are navigating the digital age. Stage one is to understand the communities today and discover how they are represented in cyberspace. Thus our initial products include a webliography and bibliography on each community and we are honored to partner with experts on these communities. Further work will entail surveying the communities for public access computing sites (Places), interviewing members of community organizations concerning how they use digital tools (Uses), and helping a subset of these groups create digital resources that represent their cultural heritage and identity (Resources). The project’s theoretical framework centers on social capital and social networks.

  • Chinatown Community Vision Plan Executive Summary
    Chinatown Community Vision Plan Executive Summary DECEMBER 2014 The Chinatown Community Vision Plan will provide a framework for future decision making that aligns with long-term goals. This executive summary highlights many of the key recommendations OVERVIEW from the plan, which is the result of nearly two years of work led by the Coalition for a Better Chinese American Community (CBCAC), 25th In 1912, the Chinatown community moved from the Ward Alderman Daniel Solis, and the Chicago southern edge of downtown Chicago to its present Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) with the location centered at Cermak Road and Wentworth Chinatown community’s residents, business owners, Avenue. The neighborhood has developed its own unique workers, and community leaders. sense of place over the years, but Chinatown has never had its own plan to guide development in ways that align with community priorities. The boundaries of the study area for the Community Vision Plan are 18th Street to the north, the Stevenson Expressway to the south, Clark Street to the east, and the Chicago River to the west. Plan recommendations tied to place fall within this study area, which represents the commercial core of the Chinatown neighborhood. They also reflect the broader context of greater Chinatown, a much larger area that includes many adjacent neighborhoods, which are home to significant numbers of Asian-American residents (many of whom are Chinese American). Photo by Mary Anne Enriquez. 2 Chinatown Community Vision Plan Executive Summary Overview 3 To better understand and address the community’s needs and vision for Chinatown’s future, CMAP researched existing conditions and worked with the project’s Steering Committee to conduct numerous community engagement activities and gather public feedback.
