Oak Park River Forest Museum

Come to Oak Park River Forest Museum to learn about Aquí en Chicago, an exhibit at the Chicago History Museum, from Dr. Elena Gonzales, the museum’s curator of civic engagement and social justice. Gonzales will discuss her work on the exhibit (open until Nov. 8, 2026) and other highlights from her career as a museum professional.
The talk begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6, at OPRF Museum, 129 Lake St. Regular admission rates apply.
When students from Instituto Justice and Leadership Academy in Pilsen protested the Chicago History Museum in 2019 over the lack of Latino/a/e representation, they continued a long tradition of resistance against cultural erasure. From overt acts like protests for fair housing and education, to quieter ones like preserving family recipes, native languages, and spiritual practices, Chicago's Latino/a/e communities—present since the 1800s—have always fought to protect their heritage. Aquí en Chicago honors that legacy through art, photography, personal objects, and historical treasures, tracing how these communities have not only persisted but flourished across Chicago and its suburbs.

Voting Rights don't just happen. Rather they need to be defended -- not just once but in election after election. Who are the Defenders?&nbsp; People who are willing to do the often unglamorous work of just showing up.&nbsp; Christian Harris as State Director of Common Cause Illinois has used his experience to build Common Cause's statewide election protection network.&nbsp; He'll share what he's learned about building coalitions that are ongoing and&nbsp; last more than one election cycle as well as his belief that a big part of the defense of democracy involves nurturing and growing the next generation of leaders. Please join the League of Women Voters of Oak Park and River Forest at our Coffee and Conversation event for a lively discussion.The program is free and open to the public.
