Chicago’s story wouldn’t be complete without the voices of its public housing residents, and the Public Housing Oral History Workshop at the National Public Housing Museum puts those stories front and center. This event is more than just a workshop – it’s a step toward preserving Chicago’s diverse legacy and fostering local pride. By equipping community members with tools to record and protect oral histories, the Museum is ensuring that the rich, lived experiences of public housing residents will continue to inform and inspire generations. The venue’s authentic atmosphere, rooted in local history, creates a space for dialogue, understanding, and connection. For Chicagoans, this event represents a powerful opportunity to celebrate, share, and honor the city’s unique public housing journey. Join the movement to make local history matter!
