DuSable City,
a participatory media project, situates convergences among the stories of minoritized and migrant Chicagoland residents and global justice struggles from elsewheres in the legacy of Jean-Baptiste Point DuSable, extending the question 'Whose Streets?' from rallying cry to community conversation. Word to Lefebvre, but sexy though. Research support by the Black Metropolis Research Consortium. Launch support by VOQAL & The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center. DM @DuSableCity
