Chicago 1919: Confronting the Race Riots

Multimedia from Bike Tour: Visualizing the 1919 Riots in Today’s Chicago

The event Bike Tour: Visualizing the 1919 Riots in Today's Chicago, was held on June 29, 2019, facilitated by Blackstone Bicycle Works. The 10-mile bike ride included South Side neighborhoods where violence erupted during the summer of 1919. It started at the only marker of the riots in the city—at 29th Street and the lakefront—and then moved through Bronzeville, Bridgeport, the Stockyards, and back toward the lake.
