Civic Sundays @ CHM | Speak Up and Out Boldly

This session focuses on the civic superpower Amplify.

Whether through voice, song, or the arts, amplifiers use their creativity to inspire civic participation. As a journalist and educator, Chicagoan Ida B. Wells-Barnett is the ultimate amplifier! Join us to learn how she inspired action to address the social justice issues of her time in the WTTW film, Ida B. Wells: A Chicago Stories Special.

Civic Sundays @ CHM highlight the different civic superpowers Chicagoans have used when shaping our city. Each Civic Sunday will have a civic superpower theme with a related film screening, an opportunity to engage directly with community organizations, an art installation, and more. Through hands-on history and films, find and use your own civic superpower!

All Civic Season events are FREE admission days for Illinois residents.
