The flyer also shows images of author and former Alderperson Helen Shiller (seated with a red folder in front of her on a table) and the Dis/Placements Project logo (white block letters stacked in three lines "Dis/" "Place" and "ments" with the "i" of "Dis/" and the "l" of "Place" combined to make Chicago's Sears Tower). Also included: text conveying details of the event, a QR code, and this contact email for additional information: [email protected]

Grateful for Abdul Basheer, a graduate student from @HistUIC who worked as an intern for the Dis/Placements Project. Stay tuned for his research that captures the Bosnian experience in Uptown, which will be represented via a zine and incorporated in our interactive timeline.

Excellent @Chicago_Reader read about the legacy of @shillerista and the past, present, and future of Uptown. Thanks to @t_annie_howard for the shout out to the @Dis_placements project. @BigG_ji @UICnews @bfloodUIC
For @Chicago_Reader, I dug deep into the work of former 46th Ward alder Helen Shiller, activist histories of Uptown, and choosing a new alder next year. This piece brings together so many things I care about, and I hope you'll give it a read!

Crucial reading - Daring to Struggle, Daring to Win by former 46th ward alderwoman Helen Shiller @shillerista @haymarketbooks. Chronicling 5 decades of resistance against the Daley machine, it documents the life of a fierce leader & the radical social movements that sustained her

The issue of retro pay has come to the fore. @thisisUIC would deny 90% of workers retro pay for the past year. So we're still on strike. Come to the pickets 9:00-4:00 and show them we'll never accept that!
In solidarity with @uicgeo. Donate to their strike fund: bit.ly/GEOStrikefund; join their letter campaign: bit.ly/GEOlettercampaign / For more information: uic-geo.net/mainsite/ #IStandWithGEO".
