Walking Tour | Hyde Park Murals

A guided walking tour of the murals that line the Metra underpasses in Hyde Park, led by artist and educator Juarez Hawkins. The route takes in works including Astrid Fuller's *Spirit of Hyde Park* (1973) and William Walker's *Children of Goodwill* (1977), with discussion of how those public murals reflect civic action and community expression, plus issues of restoration and reinterpretation. The tour meets on Sunday, October 11 at 11 AM at the Pepperland Apartment building at 1509–1517 E. 57th Street (adjacent to the 57th Street Metra stop), runs 1.5 to 2 hours, and includes free admission to the Chicago History Museum for one week after. Note there is a pricing contradiction here: the source says "Free" in the data field but the description says $25 ($22.50 for members).
