Thu 4/28 @ 5:30PM
Fair housing month is here. And to celebrate (or rather to pay homage to…), you’re invited to the Sixth Annual Fair Housing Celebration & Chicago Freedom Movement Photography Exhibition on Thu 4/28. Join with other fair housing advocates, such as Cleveland City Councilman Tony Brancatelli, for raffles, entertainment & the Chicago Freedom Movement Photography Exhibition.
Some background info: “The Chicago Freedom Movement exhibit is a collection of color photographs taken by Bernard J. Kleina, artist and fair housing advocate, in Chicago in 1965-1966. The photographs are priceless historical treasures and are the only candid color photographs of Dr. Martin Luther King and other civil rights activists taken in Chicago at that time. More importantly, they are a record of the work of so many people to achieve equality in housing. They are also a reminder that the fight for open housing is an integral part of the civil rights movement. Mr. Kleina’s photos will be available for purchase.”
