This is so great. Thank you all. I am a descendant of the Wakazoo and love to hear anything related to my family. ❤

That third grader nailed it. Thanks for sharing that story, Eric.

Way too many white people lol

Great discussion. Loved hearing about what was going on in Chicago scene and cultural production in the punk scene.

Conversation between Lauren Groff and Rebecca Makkai starts around 7:15

i have a question? In this struggle for independence in Latin America, who's the significant key player on providing weapons and money to support this war of independence specially in Mexico to the revolutionaries, i mean what country or nation that supported them in order to fight the colonial government of Spain?, for example Kingdom of France provided weapons and money to support the continental army against the British army red coats, including Spain and Poland and maybe German empire and other European countries that opposing The British out of the America, aside from the figures who is the role model or a figure playing a significant contribution to led the war themselves key to independence.

Those boys had representation. They had. Clarence Darrow! Their crime was premeditated. It was an evil, HEINOUS crime! Life sentence was a gift.

Dear Mr. Fletcher. Please favor me with a copy of aforementioned book.

Royko was both one of the simplest and most complex writers of his time. Bill Savage does an excellent job of explaining how Royko’s remarkable prescience shaped his commentary. As a 75-year-old, I remember a great deal, and one thing that stands out in my memory is that no contemporary columnist during Royko’s lifetime ever came close to matching his resilience and journalistic genius.

So interesting to hear all those details!

Chickasaw and Choctaw tribal members also had Indigenous slaves. Just as other tribes did. They weren't enslaving based on skin color like the white man did. Enslavement is a crime. White America committed hate crimes.

I think that was pretty interesting, myself. I've always liked that cover picture of Barbra facing the water. Using the title 'People' along w/the cover shot was a brilliant idea! Nice to see the other photos of Streisand that were not used as well. Funny thing is, I always thought the famous cover shot was probably taken on a beach somewhere on Long Island! Learn something new everyday! "Thank you" for this bit of information, and now I think I'll put the album on and enjoy a nice, quiet evening w/ 'People.' 🎶🎵🌅🎼

So????

What a lovely feature. The video, animation and information. Just perfect.

That lady judge who'd give the sentence of "50 years or so" (with chance of parole) to Leopold and Loeb is so liberal... This is disgusting.

First of all and above all, I applaud and thank all of those involved in the Mister Kelly's exhibit at Newberry, which deserves a permanent home in some form somewhere. I've visited the exhibit 3 times and have recommended it to friends locally and internationally and to colleagues in the tour business. │ That said, one egregious error which I noticed only recently needs to be called out. The Playboy Club was never located in The Palmolive Building, though this is the claim on the otherwise [mostly] fine and comprehensive "Mapping Entertainment" panel in the first gallery. See item #16. │ The Palmolive Building indeed housed the world headquarters of Playboy Enterprises from the '60s through the '80s and for years sported a corporate sign that by today's standards would be variously denounced from "controversial' to "dangerous," but it was not -as is cited on that panel- ever the location of the pioneering "club." │ For more details, as another icon of the 1960s once observed, "You could look it up." Thank you for your attention …

Love the production of this video and the cartoon/animation added a cute, whimsical touch. Excellent photo and exhibit at the Newberry!

She is amazing - proving people wrong every step of her career. Great photo and I always assumed it was a California Beach .

That was the beach right off division st when I lived in the CABRINI GREEN area I was only a 15 minute walk

Very impressive

Still funny as ever!

Is this a real one or?

The transcript of this is glorious and should be published. Like the Giovanni Baldwin interview. 💚💛💜

Then it became a disco for black professionals it closed in 1983 I first went to it and 1980.radio personality DJ Tom joiner was the MC I met over 30 black sports and music and TV entertainers there.the were in competition. With the DINGBATS night club on Fairbanks Mr T was the bouncer who had a boxing match with Frazier the happy mediums bouncer.i had the best time in my life there from 1980 to 1983.

How old is this little girl behind the microphone.

I think it's absolutely disgusting and disrespectful that our justice system is manipulated by wealth and activists. The victims are abandoned by the courts much the same way as their murders abandoned the victims corpse.

One of the panellists mentioned the reporter, Maurine Dallas Watkins, and stated that she was the author of the musical, *Chicago.* The 1926 play of the same name that Watkins wrote is not the musical. Rather, the musical was created in 1975 by John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Bob Fosse, based on Watkins' original non-musical play.

Thank you for recording this presentation. Just a suggestion to help those viewing it virtually - if you could split the screen between the speaker and the slides that are being shown or keep the camera on the slides a little longer it would be helpful. :-)

Very interesting and well presented. Saved me 5 years of research. Thank you.

What a smug, overly verbose windbag. Exhausting. 10 minutes of content painfully stretched out into a droning, nap-length, brain-numb. Dude, put your Thesaurus away and just edit this down to the relevant action. Less posing, more canoeing. Also, just call the local indians the "Potawatomi". Anishinabe implies Odawa and Ojibwa as well, but these people didn't live around Chicago. Then you use the term "Algonquin" to describe these people. Pick a lane. You're confused. Focus. I wish I had my 42 minutes back.

So glad the exhibition will be available to people through July! Thanks for keeping Chicago's great history alive!

Mister Kelly’s will always hold a magical corner of my memories. It was the best!

Mort Sahl!

Great venue for entertainment in Chicago!

So much entertainment history and future entertainment greats past through the doors and on to the stage at the Happy Medium. Working there and at the other Marienthal venues were to be the highlight of my early career in the biz. Let's hear more David. Thanks to Oscar and George!!!

Any details to share about the Jazz Showcase in the basement?

Brilliant and Fun Video!! Thanks for creating and sharing.

I am a descendent of Jeanne Mahou AND Genevieve Bettemont. Born in Louisiana in 1970s, so the family history and roots survived in Louisiana for centuries!

Hey Jim, thanks for the video. It was a really fun tour of a beautiful atlas full of history. I have a question: the first map presented: the World Map. Do we know the authorship of this map? You first said it was probably created by Mercator and then stopped yourself and said "based on." I'm aware this is not Mercator's 1569 map of 'corrected navigation', but it does seem to bare some similarities. Additionally, it bares similarities to Gastaldi's 1546 'Universale'....I wonder if either of these men had a direct hand in creating the map used in the Atlas. Let me know what you know about this particular map. Also, do you have any sources to view the Theatrum Atlas in its entirety online? Thanks

I just found out that Juliette Kinzie is my ancestor, on my mother's side. Thank you for keeping her memories and history alive.

If Uskudar'a Gider Iken reminded you of Rasputin by Boney M, it should.

Superb!!
