Where: University of Chicago's Harris School Lecture Hall, 1155 E. 60th Street (Corner of S. Woodlawn and E. 60th)
The Community & Economic Development Organization & Bridging the Gap
welcome "Voices of Cabrini" film maker Ronit Bezalel and Cabrini Green former
resident and community activist Mark Pratt, who will answer questions, speak
of their experiences making the film, and share their visions for community
revitalization.
“In 1995, demolition began at Cabrini Green, one of Chicago's most ‘notorious’
housing developments. Infamous for poverty, gangs, drugs, and violence -
Cabrini Green is also home to a strong community of African-American
residents - many of whom are fighting to stay. Filmed from 1995-1999, ‘Voices
of Cabrini’ is the story of how redevelopment is changing this neighborhood.”

This is part of the series Cabrini Green: Past, Present, & Future! CEDO is
also sponsoring a bus tour of the former Cabrini Green Housing Project.
Please be advised, we have limited seating for the bus tour.
