The Chicago History Museum (CHM) received a $1,033,752 Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Museums for America (MFA) program. The award will fund the installation of a temporary exhibition exploring the history and persistence of Chicago's diverse Latino communities. The project builds upon a previous IMLS-supported initiative to foster deeper relationships with these communities through restorative practices and co-creative processes. CHM will collaborate with the Instituto Justice and Leadership Academy and be guided by two community advisory groups. Funding will support the purchase of exhibition materials, staffing for design and installation, and the development of associated public programming. The exhibition aims to provide a sense of inclusion and representation for Chicago's Latino communities while contributing to public knowledge and understanding of their role in shaping the city. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2026.
