Join Devin Manley, one of the Illinois Distributed Museum's Spring
interns, on a walking tour of campus to highlight cultural and community-building innovations from the University of Illinois. Hear
about the history of this campus’s multi-ethnic and multi-cultural past
as we think critically about the University of Illinois’ role in defining
immigration policies, the Civil Rights Movement, and the progression
of inclusive academia at both the local and global scale. Follow along as
we visit some of the University’s most powerful and life-changing sites
that you may walk past every day without even knowing! This tour will
start at the University Archives, located in the Main Library Room 146.
We will spend approximately an hour and a half walking to 7 different
locations on campus. It is helpful if you register but is not required.
Accommodation requests can also be made through registration.
