As the National Parks Service celebrates its centennial, Chicagoans find there is a new future for Pullman. Last year the former model company town was declared a national monument, making it one of only three such designated urban places in America. Now community members, architects, and urban planners are figuring out how to preserve the neighborhood’s architectural treasures and showcase its significant role in the history of labor, including the formation of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the infamous Pullman Strike. Join Richard Wilson, the project lead for the design workshop Positioning Pullman, and historian Mark Bouman of the Field Museum for a conversation about Pullman's past and future.
