Chicago Race Riot of 1919 Commemoration Project, Illinois Historical Markers
This set of sidewalk memorials commemorates the locations where people were killed in the 1919 Chicago Race Riots. Between July 27 and August 3, 1919, 38 people died in the racially charged violence that rocked the city. These memorials are inspired by Europe's Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) honoring Holocaust victims.
