We are grateful for your continued support and patience over the years. We look forward to connecting with you in the coming year! In the meantime, below are a few things to get excited about:

- Our new book for youth: On My Daddy’s Shoulders: A memoir of the daughter of activist, Al Raby and her retelling of her experiences watching her father lead the fight for civil rights in Chicago and beyond.

- Raby Chats: A reboot of community-centered conversations about civil rights connecting youth and elders in safe spaces for dialogue about issues concerning our communities.

- Oral History Story Collection: We invite anyone who has had experiences with Al or was involved in the civil rights movement in Chicago to share their stories with us. We’re scheduling interviews now. Please reach out to [email protected] to schedule time to share your Al Raby story!
