  • Lincoln Park Community Data Snapshot Chicago Community Area Series August 2021 Release
    Lincoln Park Community Data Snapshot Chicago Community Area Series August 2021 Release 1 Community Data Snapshot | Lincoln Park About the Community Data Snapshots The Community Data Snapshots is a series of data profiles for every county, municipality, and Chicago Community Area (CCA) within the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) seven-county northeastern Illinois region. The snapshots primarily feature data from the American Community Survey (ACS) five-year estimates, although other data sources include the U.S. Census Bureau, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES), Illinois Department of Revenue (IDR), HERE Technologies, and CMAP itself. CMAP publishes updated Community Data Snapshots annually to reflect the most recent data available. The latest version can always be found at cmap.illinois.gov/data/community-snapshots. The underlying data can be downloaded from the CMAP Data Hub. Please direct any inquiries to [email protected]. To improve the Community Data Snapshots in the future, CMAP wants to hear from you! Please take a quick survey to describe how you use this data and what you would like to see in next year’s snapshots. User Notes Definitions For data derived from the ACS, the Community Data Snapshots uses terminology based on the ACS subject definitions. Margins of Error The ACS is a sample-based data product. Exercise caution when using data from low-population communities, as the margins of error are often large compared to the estimates. For more details, please refer to the ACS sample size and data quality methodology. Regional Values Regional values are estimated by aggregating ACS data for the seven counties that compose the CMAP region.

  • Monuments Are Art, and They Reflect Values—They Are Not Historical
    STATEMENT FROM DR. MALINDA MAYNOR-LOWERY Monuments are art, and they reflect values—they are not historical instruction and they do not reflect a historical understanding (though members of society who would like us to believe in their versions of the past have consciously labeled them as “history,” and the public is divided over whether that is at issue). In fact, what is at issue with these monuments are values, and who gets to decide what represents a community’s values. In our Center’s collaboration, we’ve worked to define public art, and we’ve worked to determine what values public art should express. Collectively, we arrived at an important premise for our work: a few cannot legitimately determine, on behalf of the many, what to commemorate, and doing so will ultimately result in public works of art that neglect the complexity of the individuals commemorated and emphasize the values of some to exclude others. For example, Confederate monuments, Mount Rushmore, Columbus statues, conquistador statues, and pioneer monuments in the West all reflect a celebration of conquest, and if Indigenous or Black people are not overtly depicted, they imply that these populations had little if nothing to say about these historical figures or the events they participated in. Of course some monuments, like Early Days in San Francisco, the Lewis and Clark monument in Charlottesville, or the monument in Lincoln Park in Washington DC actually do depict the people being conquered, or enslaved, always in subordinate positions to the individuals featured. These monuments are especially interesting because they work against the historical evidence we have, that these supposedly subordinate peoples actually played a determinative role in the ventures being celebrated.
