Exhibition - Chicago's South side 

Wayne Miller 

From 1946 to 1948, Chicago photographer Wayne Miller documented the daily lives of African-Americans in the post-World War II era. His photographs capture both a developing cultural renaissance and the grim economic realities that faced Chicago's largest black community. Famous figures such as Duke Ellington, Gwendolyn Brooks, Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt and Paul Robeson are represented in the exhibition. Other city scenes are also featured, including clubs, storefront churches, sporting events and parades.
