The Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago will hear Tracy Baim, co-founder and publisher of Windy City Times, speak Sunday, Feb. 19, at 10:30 a.m. Her topic will be "Windy City Times: Impact on Chicago and Its LGBT Community." Baim will discuss the role of media in the LGBT Chicago community. Windy City Times was founded in 1985, just as Chicago's LGBT community started to show its full force through culture, sports, activism (especially in response to AIDS and civil rights), politics, media and business. She will give an overview on how LGBT media both participated in and covered the community.
There will be a coffee hour after the program. The Sunday programs are free and open to the public, and a children's program runs concurrently. For more information about this or any of our other programs, please visit ethicalhuman.org .
The Ethical Humanist Society is located at 7574 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie. Email office@ethicalhuman.org or call 847-677-3334. Also, see www.ethicalhuman.org/speaker/baim.html . |
