#Repost @dusablemuseum (@get_repost) ・・・ ***NEW EXHIBIT ALERT*** South Side Stories—The Art and Influence of Dr. Margaret T. Burroughs, 1960–1980. Influential Chicago artist and cultural leader Margaret Burroughs co-founded the DuSable Museum in 1961 and was instrumental in creating the South Side Community Art Center in 1940. The show gives a nuanced illustration of Dr. Burroughs's work at the DuSable Museum, but also how she influenced art, activism, community identity, and cultural awareness within and beyond Chicago's South Side between 1960 and 1980. This exhibition shows the depth and breadth of Burroughs's impact by turning a lens onto her life's work during this period. Coming Soon...

#Repost @dusablemuseum with @repostapp ・・・ Dr. King was certainly known for traveling city to city to protest racial injustices. He visited Chicago in June of 1964 days after the Senate approved the landmark Civil Rights Bill. Dr. King gave his last speech April 3, 1968. He was assassinated the next day. If Dr. King were alive today, would he caution that there is still a long way to go? We'd love to hear from you! Like, comment, and share! #DuSomething #DuSableMuseum #FreedomsJourney #DrKing
