Today, we roll out the welcome mat for the future inheritors of the United States, unleashing access to history for informed, inspired civic participation. Anchored by our newest and oldest federal holidays, the Civic Season event series mobilizes a movement to understand our past and shape our future!

Be a Connector and link with organizations advocating for a better Chicago, hear from local leaders, and leave your mark on the community mural. Enjoy crafts and games outside, hands-on history facilitated by Natalia Virafuentes, then tour Museum with a Civic Action @ CHM guide, followed by a special screening of the documentary Represent (2020) by Kartemquin Films.
