Over the summer of 2013, History Moves worked with ten freedom fellows from the Chicago Freedom School on an intergenerational history project called “Not In The Yearbooks.”
Each fellow interviewed a current or retired CPS teacher about their lives as students and teachers. Not in the Yearbooks documents the students’ and teachers’ histories and experiences in Chicago’s public schools from the 1940s to the present.
In 2013, ten Freedom Fellows from the Chicago Freedom School worked with History Moves to create an intergenerational history project called “Not in the Yearbooks.”
Each fellow interviewed a CPS teacher who was once a CPS student. They also interviewed one another. The stories, which span 1940 to the present, explore how young people have consistently shaped the history of Chicago’s schools.
