  TODAYS GAY & LESBIAN EVENTS

Tuesday February 18th

Recovering the Lost South Side
6:00pm - 8:00pm

Lee Bey is the author of Southern Exposure: The Overlooked Architecture of Chicago's South Side, the first book devoted to the South Side's rich and unfairly ignored architectural heritage. With lively, insightful text and gallery-quality color photographs by the Chicago architecture expert, Southern Exposure documents the remarkable and largely unsung architecture of the South Side. Don Hayner is the author of Binga: The Rise and Fall of Chicago's First Black Banker, the definitive full-length biography of Jesse Binga. One of 10 children in a Detroit family, Binga arrived in Chicago in 1892 in his late 20s with virtually nothing. Through his wits and resourcefulness, he rose to wealth and influence as a realtor, and in 1908 he founded the Binga Bank, the first black-owned bank in Chicago. But his fall was equally precipitous. Binga recounts this gripping story about race, history, politics and finance in Chicago. In their discussion, Bey and Hayner highlight the historical relationship between the decades of disinvestment in the architecture of the South Side and the tragic collapse of Binga's career. This event is co-sponsored by Black Metropolis Research Consortium, Landmarks Illinois and Chicago Collections Consortium. Books are available for purchase, and the authors will autograph books at the conclusion of the program. Doors to the Cindy Pritzker Auditorium open at 5:30 p.m., and seating is first come, first served.
