Course Detail: LLLI-8268 - A Cultural Journey: Chicago and Beyond

Take a colorful journey through Chicago's rich ethnic neighborhoods with a fascinating collection of historic photographs. Discover the stories, traditions, architecture, and people that shaped neighborhoods throughout the city, many of which were established by immigrants arriving from the 1820s through the early 20th century. 

Explore neighborhoods including Andersonville, Bronzeville, Chinatown, Greektown, Humboldt Park, Little Italy, Pilsen, Ukrainian Village, Wicker Park, and many more. The presentation also features unique historic photographs of New York City and South Florida, offering a glimpse into architectural styles, everyday life, and vintage clothing from more than a century ago.
