The Roaring 20s Come to HP Library…
In the early 1920s Ben Hecht produced a daily column for the “Chicago Daily News” that explored the lives of urban outsiders: immigrants, African-Americans, the poor. Bill Savage, a Northwestern University professor, will discuss Hecht’s approach to capturing these unique vistages of American – and Chicago – 1920s life.
