Welcome to the ConferenceBy Timothy Gilfoyle, UHA PresidentWelcome to Chicago! As 2015-16 President of the Urban History Association, I want to welcomeyou to the Eighth Biennial UHA Conference, the largest and hopefully the most exciting ever. Overfour days, the conference will be home to approximately 650 urban historians, writers, scholars andjournalists from six continents, 40 states, the District of Columbia and a dozen countries, includingAustralia, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, thePhilippines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and South Korea. More than ever, the UHA is atransnational and international institution. Conference participants will be involved in morethan 150 panels, plenaries, roundtables, and tours during their four days in Chicago.The conference theme – The Working Urban – highlights the importance of the varieties of labor inurban history and the multiple ways urban historians define their own work. The program reflectsthat diversity with more than 30 panels devoted to workshops, roundtables, plenaries and bookdiscussions, while paying special attention to topics marking the anniversaries of events thatprofoundly influenced cities, including Martin Luther King’s campaign to “End Slums” in Chicago,the Immigration Act of 1965 and the 100th birthday of Jane Jacobs.Most of you have visited Chicago. But the weather is often less than hospitable (January for theAmerican Historical Association annual meeting). I hope you can spend some time exploring thecity. Walk in any direction from our conference site. Within 45 minutes you can see the first glassbox skyscrapers designed by Mies van der Rohe in the U.S., the oldest apartments or “French Flats”in Chicago, Hugh Hefner’s original Playboy mansion, the bullet marks on Holy Name Cathedralwhere Hymie Weiss was gunned down in 1926 by his gangland enemies, America’s first “verticalmall” in Water Tower Place, the great inland sea of North America (Lake Michigan), the“cathedral” of American evangelicalism at the Moody Bible Institute, the hotel where David Mametwrote American Buffalo, and, of course, some of the few surviving structures of the great ChicagoFire of 1871: the Pumping Station and Water Tower on Michigan Avenue.All of us should give special thanks to Executive Director Timothy Neary for not only organizingthis conference, but also moving the UHA into the 21st century with its new website (check it out athttp://www.urbanhistory.org/); Nathan D.B. Connolly and Donna Murch for reading more paneland paper proposals than any other UHA program chairs in history; and Brad Hunt and RenéAlvarez for helping with local arrangements and assembling one of the most interesting rosters ofurban tours of any UHA conference to date. On behalf of the UHA, I want to gratefully thank themajor sponsors of the conference: Loyola University Chicago’s College of Arts and Sciences,Graduate School, Department of History, and Center for Urban Research and Learning; the Collegeof Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame; the Chicago History Museum; the MinowFamily Foundation; and the University of Chicago Press.Enjoy Chicago.Timothy Gilfoyle is Professor and former Chair of History at Loyola University Chicago and a trustee atthe Chicago History Museum. His books include A Pickpocket’s Tale: The Underworld of NineteenthCentury New York (2006); Millennium Park: Creating a Chicago Landmark (2006) and City of Eros:New York City, Prostitution and the Commercialization of Sex, 1790-1920 (1992).3

The photography exhibit is accompanied byinterviews with local residents, essays, and an accompanying interactive website. Like many other socialissues affecting local communities, eminent domain can be approached in many ways. Photographs ofeminent domain sites tell one story, but government leaders, community advocacy groups, residents,and scholars can fill out these stories to create a whole that provides a rich and “thicker” description ofthe story of eminent domain – from its planning to its implementation, to its ongoing impact. Thecommunities examined in the exhibit include: Bensenville, Illinois; Boston, Massachusetts; Celilo Falls,Oregon; the Delaware Water Gap; Detroit, Michigan; Lake Buchanan, Texas; Los Angeles, California;and Norris, Tennessee. The exhibit’s web site includes photos, essays, interview audio, and directions tothe Damen Center: http://luc.edu/eminent-domain. Public Transit: Loyola’s Lake Shore Campus iseasily accessible via the CTA. Via train take the Red Line to the Loyola “L” station or take the 147 bus toSheridan Rd. and Kenmore Ave. directly in front of the Lake Shore Campus.10

Bradford Hunt. Departs and Ends: Lobby of Corboy Law Center, 25 E. Pearson StreetHow do we tell the story of public housing's past in a museum? In 2007, a group of public housingresidents sought to create a museum so that their story would not be forgotten once redevelopmentdemolished their former community. Since then, residents, former residents, and a collection ofcommitted supporters have worked to develop the National Public Housing Museum (NPHM). TheUHA will tour the site for the future museum - the last standing building of the former Jane AddamsHomes - with D. Bradford Hunt, NPHM Board Member and Vice President for Research and AcademicPrograms at the Newberry Library. Since renovation of the structure has not yet begun, we will see thepotential for a museum, not a finished one, and we will reflect on the challenges of telling the multiplestories of public housing in a museum context. We will travel by CT
