Nicholson* Introduction There seems to be a never ending debate over whether the use of the Indian as a team mascot is or is not racist, derogatory, offensive, and/or vulgar (or, as seen by some, all of the aforementioned). What some people view as a harmless representation of a team, others view as a mockery of American Indian culture. Supporters of teams that define themselves by the Indian mascot claim that its use is an honorable one. Opponents argue that the mascot fosters disparagement and insensitivity for a culture that plays an important part of American history. The hostility is mainly channeled to the five professional sports teams that, despite harsh public outcry, continue to be represented by American Indian names and symbols: the Atlanta Braves, Chicago Blackhawks, Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Chiefs, and Washington Redskins.

  • Joseph Gustaitis Provides Insight Into the Lasting Effects of the Great War Not Only on the City but the United States As a Whole
    211 Chicago Transformed Voiceover: This program is sponsored by the United States World War I Centennial Commission. (Theme music) Voiceover: The following is a production of the Pritzker Military Museum and Library. Bringing citizens and citizen soldiers together through the exploration of military history, topics, and current affairs. This is Pritzker Military Presents. Clarke: Welcome to Pritzker Military Presents, with freelance writer and editor Edward Gustaitis for a discussion of his book Chicago Transformed: World War I and the Windy City. I’m your host Ken Clarke, and this program is coming to you from the Pritzker Military Museum and Library located in downtown Chicago, and it’s sponsored by the United States World War I Centennial Commission. This program and hundreds more are available on demand at PritzkerMilitary.org. Although WWI began in Europe in the summer of 1914 the United States did not enter the war until 1917. the war continued to establish the united states' appearance on the world stage as a great power and was the first deployment of US soldiers outside the western hemisphere. Although an ocean away the war did not leave the homeland uninfluenced, and Illinois and Chicago were especially transformed by the war. More than 350,000 men from Illinois went over there to serve in the army, navy, and marines. One out of every twelve men in the army was from Illinois. Illinois furnished more men to the armed forces than any other state in the union with the exception of New York and Pennsylvania. The loss of manpower led to labor shortages that gave way to the Great Migration, bringing people from all ethnic backgrounds into Chicago's work force.
