The Chicago Freedom Movement Photography Exhibit is a small but revealing snapshot of Dr. Martin Luther King's visit and marches in Chicago, and of both the ugliness and beauty of the response to open housing by the people of Chicago. In remembrance and celebration of the Chicago Freedom Movement's fight for fair housing, Bernard J. Kleina assembled his rare and historic color photographs that depict that struggle. The photography exhibit includes contemporary photographs reminding us that we still have a long way to go before we achieve what Dr. King fought for and what we are fighting for now - open and fair housing and an end to racial and ethnic segregation.

Review the various sections of this website for an opportunity to bring the Chicago Freedom Movement Exhibit to your community, school, library or workplace. If you feel that the images on your office walls could better reflect what you are about, consider purchasing some of Bernard Kleina's photography.
