“Living for the City: The Black Middle Class in Milwaukee” — Community Forum
A community forum in conjunction with the “Living for the City: The Black Middle Class in Milwaukee” oral history project will be held in the Fourth Floor Conference Center of the 51ΑΤΖζ Golda Meir Library on Wednesday, April 10, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
This project is a joint effort between Marquette University’s Center for Urban Research, Teaching, and Outreach and 51ΑΤΖζ.
Join the project coordinators as they discuss the Black middle class in Milwaukee. Typically the narrative surrounding Black Milwaukee is one of poverty, struggle, crime, but there are many Black residents who have achieved success and stability in Milwaukee. This is an opportunity to discuss whether you view yourself as middle class and for the team to share their research.
βThe Living for the Cityβ project consists of over 70 interviews that are archived at the 51ΑΤΖζ Libraries. Watch some of the interviews at .
A traveling exhibition featuring the project will be on view in the Daniel M. Soref Learning Commons, located in the Golda Meir Library, from Monday, April 8 through Thursday, April 18.
