Walking Tour: Lincoln Park and the Young Lords


Join us for a historical walking tour of Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood led by Derek Potts, Instruction and Outreach Archivist at DePaul University. Covering approximately 1.5 miles, the tour will highlight key sites of activism and community organizing, with a focus on the influential history of the Young Lords Organization (YLO) and the urban renewal efforts of the late 1960s. This program is supported by DePaul’s Vincencian Endowment Grant and the Center for Latino Research, in partnership with DePaul University’s Special Collections and Archives.
