White Oak Library District: Romeoville Branch

Illinois is the nation’s railroad crossroads. This not only shaped the state’s economy and communities but created an industry with a cultural allure. The speeding locomotive was a real-life representation of progress, and people gathered trackside to marvel at the big city opulence represented by an Illinois-built Pullman car. Rail workers were seen as heroic as they faced an extremely dangerous occupation. The railroad became a cultural symbol, reflected in advertising, cinema, and children’s toys.
Join speaker, historian, writer, and community organizer (with a passion for Illinois labor history!), Michael Matejka for an engaging presentation about Romeoville, Chicagoland, and Illinois railroad history. This event is generously sponsored by the <a href="https://ilhumanities.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Illinois Humanities</a> "Road Scholars Speakers Bureau" in which speakers travel across Illinois to bring art, culture, history, and contemporary social issues to life, making the humanities accessible to all!<a href="https://whiteoak.librarycalendar.com/event/whats-coming-down-line-railroad-american-mind-michael-matejka-66214" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Please Register</a>
