Hyde Park's Urban Renewal with Trish Morse

Wednesday, September 11
12–1pm Central Time

Meeting ID: 240 191 593
Passcode: Lunch

Join via Zoom

As some people in the Village remember, Hyde Park went through a radical transformation in the 1950s and 1960s, from urban density to low-density Mid-Century Modern. We'll take a quick look at the forces that shaped the decisions that were made, the university's role, and the grassroots efforts to shape the identity of the neighborhood that emerged.

OUR SPEAKER

Patricia (Trish) Morse is a Hyde Park blogger, historian and storyteller who is fascinated by the transformations in her neighborhood—Hyde Park, Chicago. She is known to many as Hyde Park Trish. Trish Morse has a PhD from the University of Chicago. After teaching American Studies and Literature at Union College, St Lawrence University, and Michigan State University, she returned to Hyde Park, where she has served on the executive council of Hyde Park-Kenwood Community Conference, the Hyde Park Garden Fair, and the Hyde Park Used Book Sale. Trish authors a monthly history column in the Hyde Park Herald.
