SUMMARY:Second Sunday Lecture Series: " Casting An Historic Vote" Suffrage for Women in Illinois
DESCRIPTION:Prior to 1920\, women were denied the vote in the majority of elections in the United States. The struggle for enfranchisement began with the birth of our nation and was strategized differently in our local\, state\, and federal elections. Despite what people today believe to be a straightforward goal\, the path to women’s suffrage was infused with sexism and racism and triggered a fear of feminism whose roots are still seen today. While wealthy women advocates played a vital role in the suffrage movement\, they were not the only ones seeking enfranchisement. From attorney Ellen Martin\, the first woman to vote in Illinois\, to Ida B. Wells\, a woman who did not let racism silence her voice\, women’s suffrage has been a battle hard fought by a diverse group of activists in Illinois. Jeanne Schultz Angel is the Director of Learning Experiences & Historical Resources for Naper Settlement. She is a nonprofit administrator and museum professional with more than 24 years working within cultural institutions. She holds a BA in Anthropology and an MA in History from Illinois State University. Angel has been the executive director of three Chicagoland historical organizations: St. Charles Heritage Center\, Lombard Historical Society/Sheldon Peck Homestead\, and the Nineteenth Century Club in Oak Park. In addition\, she served as the executive director of the Illinois Association of Museums. Most recently\, she was the lead historian in Seeking Charlie: Connecting the Dots Left by a Freedom Seeker in Illinois\, a grant funded by the Association of African American Life & History and the National Park Service. \n

SUMMARY:"Right of Bang: After the Trigger is Pulled" Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Owning  a firearm is a responsibility. Carrying one is a bigger responsibility. But having to make a split-second decision to use up to and including deadly force to defend yourself or someone else\, determining who will go home to their loved ones that night\, is a decision no one wants to have  to face. With a growing amount of offenders being juveniles\, the burden of making that decision can become too much to bear for many. It may not affect you that day\, that week\, that month or that year but somehow\, someway\, that trauma will present itself and affect you physically\, mentally\, emotionally\, financially\, spiritually\, even impacting personal or professional relationships. It can even lead you to attempt or complete “the long-term solution for a short-term problem”\, something that’s all too common. Are you prepared for what comes after you pull the trigger\, commonly referred to as “Right of Bang”? \nTickets are $40. \n

SUMMARY:Blues Brothers Con: The Sequel
DESCRIPTION:Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi Return to Old Joliet Prison for Second Annual Blues Brothers Con\nJoliet Area Historical Museum pays tribute to the iconic Blues Brothers film on Saturday\, August 17th at Old Joliet Prison \nJOLIET\, Ill. – The Joliet Area Historical Museum will host its second annual Blues Brothers Con featuring actors Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi\, reprising their roles as The Blues Brothers at Old Joliet Prison on Saturday\, August 17th\, 2024. The festival will once again transform the 16-acre historic prison site into a tapestry of sights and sounds to honor the iconic Blues Brothers film – that was filmed on its grounds – as well as celebrate Blues music’s influence on the prison throughout its history. \nThe ‘Blues Brothers’ film is about passing on the love of Blues music to a new generation\, said Greg Peerbolte\, chief executive officer of the Joliet Area Historical Museum. The Prison’s connection to the Blues dates back to the 1932 recording of Memphis Minnie’s ‘Joliet Bound.’ Blues music helps us to confront – and heal – the Prison’s often difficult historic legacy. Following the incredible fan response to last year’s event\, we are extremely grateful to Dan Aykroyd and Judy Belushi Pisano and the Belushi family to pass on the film itself – and the music it cherishes – to new generations. \nAykroyd and Belushi will emcee a stacked lineup of iconic and diverse Chicago Blues performers featuring\, Curtis Salgado\, Ronnie Baker Brooks\, Lil Ed & The Blues Imperials\, and Al Spears & The Hurricane Project. \nThe evening will be appropriately capped off by a Maxwell Street-style Blues jam session where Dan\, Jim and other Blues Brothers alumni will take part in a special encore performance featuring hits from the film. Blues Brothers fans can also expect a variety of experiences\, appearances and one-of-a-kind photo ops throughout the day. \nProceeds from the event support the operations of the Joliet Area Historical Museum\, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit that has operated educational tours and community programs at the Old Joliet Prison Historic Site since 2018. The Old Joliet Prison is currently undergoing restorations but is still open to visitors daily for self-guided tours. \n  \nHotel & Ticket Packages \nOne-night stay + New Orleans North ticket (8/16) + Blues Brothers Con ticket (8/17) \nStarting at $185. Add more tickets if needed! SEE ALL HOTEL PACKAGES \nEvent Location: Inside the walls of Old Joliet Prison\, 1125 N. Collins St.\, Joliet\, Ill. Date: Saturday\, August 17th – Gates open at 11:00 am Ticket Prices General Admission: Adult $55 General Admission: Child $25 (18 and under) Front Section Standing Room Only: $75 Front Section table for 4 guests: $500 Parking Remote Lots: Free \n
