Wherever They May Be: BMRC Visit to the Gwendolyn Brooks Collection - April 23, 2025

The Black Metropolis Research Consortium (BMRC) wants to renew and nurture the connection between the legacy of Gwendolyn Brooks' poetry and the city of Chicago.

On Wednesday, April 23, 2025, the BMRC is chartering a bus to take people from Chicago to visit the “We are each other’s harvest” : Gwendolyn Brooks and the Formation of Black Literary Canon" exhibit at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Special Collections. The library will provide the BMRC group a tour and lecture.

The BMRC welcomes interest from the general public for spaces on the bus reserved for the public. Please register your interest here.
