Description

Did you know the founder of Chicago lived in Peoria first?

Kick off Pride Weekend with a thought-provoking history program hosted by Peoria Proud in partnership with the Illinois Humanities Road Scholars Speakers Bureau.  Featured Road Scholar Kyla Williams Tate explores this fascinating piece of Illinois history and traces how migration, history, and digital equity intersect in The Digital Divide: A Migration Story.
