June Newsletter

Historian Dominic Pacyga, curator of the Packingtown Museum at The Plant, was recently featured on the podcast Feet in 2 Worlds, which highlights stories at the intersection of immigration, labor, and identity in the United States. This episode focuses on the evolving politics of immigration and the communities shaped by industrial labor. Pacyga adds historical context by sharing his own family’s migration from Poland to Chicago’s Back of the Yards and reflecting on the neighborhood’s legacy as a hub for meatpacking and immigrant labor. Click hereto listen to the episode, and to read our June Newsletter in full, click here.
