MROHP Interviews: Marion Kreith
Marion Kreith talks about her sense of Jewish identity stemming from her childhood in and escape from Nazi Germany. She mentions the path that her family took from there to the United States, which included immigration to numerous countries, including Cuba. She also recalls some central Jewish figures in Boulder during the mid-twentieth century. She talks about how, although she feels culturally Jewish, she did not actively participate very much in organized Jewish community life in Boulder, in part because of her childhood in Nazi Germany having imbued her with an instinct for keeping her Jewish identity out of the public eye. She also reflects on her belief about the importance of the existence of Israel in shaping the identity of American Jews.
This interview was recorded for the Maria Rogers Oral History Program. Interview conducted by Kathryn Bernheimer and filmed by Marvin Woolf in 2013. For more oral histories, visit the online archive at
Introducing Zach D. Starrick
Born and raised in Southern Illinois, co-founder and team leader for the Southern Illinois Monster Hunters, Zach D Starrick is no stranger to the woods.
Born and raised on a cattle farm in rural Williamson County, Starrick's play ground was the great outdoors. He learned how to hunt and fish and make an honest dollar from his grandfather.
Ever since he was a young boy, Zach always had a passion for the unknown and for things that go bump in the night.
When he had is first encounter with a Sasquatch at the age of nine years old, it started what would turn into a lifelong journey that would stretch to every corner of Illinois and other states. A quest to find closure from what he experienced as a child became to prove that monsters exist in North America.
You hear of things that go bump in the night, well the Southern Illinois Monster Hunters are the ones that bump back. I started this quest almost 14 years ago and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon!
You will have the opportunity to see Zach D. Starrick at the Southern Illinois Bigfoot Conference along with Daniel Benoit and Greg Yost July 27, 2019 at Carnegie Library in Marion, Illinois.

Eating the Past: Why and How To Study Food History by Dr. Megan J. Elias
April 14, 2010
Food is the 'fiber' of every sect of society around the world. Exploring what people ate in the past, how they ate, who shared their meals, and what they said about food helps us to understand not only cultural norms of long ago but also how these historical societal structures are relevant to our own lives.
Dr. Megan Elias, historian and author of several books, will address the emerging field of food history in America, specifically the meal known as lunch.
Drawing on her research in American food history, Dr. Megan Elias will lecture on how the midday meal -- whether it is the medieval peasant's pottage or the Wall Street power lunch -- allows new insights into major historical trends such as industrialization, urbanization, and increasing gender equality.
Dr. Elias has presented on the topic of food in American history at several national and international conferences.
Dr. Megan J. Elias, Associate Professor of History at Queensborough Community College, a College of The City University of New York (CUNY) teaches U.S. History Before 1877, American Women's History, African-American History and Food History.
Dr. Elias is the author of Stir it Up: Home Economics in American Culture (2008, University of Pennsylvania Press), and Food in the United States, 1890-1945 (2009 Greenwood Press), chosen by the American Library Association as one of the Outstanding Academic Texts of the year. She is currently working on Taste of the Nation, a book about American cookbooks and culture. Dr. Elias is also co-author of Queensborough at 50: Celebrate the Memories, a history of Queensborough Community College, published in celebration of the College's fiftieth anniversary.
Dr. Elias received a B.A. degree in American History and Poetry from Cornell University, an M.A. degree in History from San Francisco State University, and a Ph.D. in History from The City University of New York Graduate Center.

Waukegan SCOOP 2014
Waukegan's legendary car show - historically known as Scoop-the-Loop - returns to Genesee Street in the form of a two-day hot rod holiday simply called SCOOP.
Combining for the first time the open Unplugged cruise of recent years on Friday night, with a traditional car show and closed scoop to show participants on Saturday; the inaugural edition drew over 1,000 cars and an attendance around 15-17,000. This video highlights some of the sights and sounds from Genesee Street over those couple days.
SCOOP 2015 will be July 10-11!

History of Scoopin'
By: David Motley/City of Waukegan
In 1949, Waukegan cabbbie, Jack Young coined the phase, Scoop the Loop, to describe the process of scooping (picking up) fares while travelling on Waukegan's network of downtown roads and looping back to only start the process all over again. This word combination would later rise to significance as the areas young adults used this phrase to recognize the process of seeing and being seen on the bridge, at Plaidland, and also at the many other landmarks, side nooks, and community crannies all during the glory years of the 1950's, 60's and 70's. Some of them cruised the streets of our community in souped-up cars, others in old jalopies, and even many more, in mom and dad's grocery getters and station wagons.
For the past 65 years, as this tradition has continued on in some form or fashion, under one name or another, organized or unplugged, this cultural phenomenon made a much-anticipated comeback to Waukegan over this past weekend. We are delighted to have had an opportunity to work with Gerry Gerald Cook of the Original Scoopers, elected officials, community leaders, generous sponsors, civic organizations, and more than 200 volunteers to help return this custom back to its original birthplace. For some of you that grew up in this era, regardless of what you call this classic car occurrence, it conjures up memories of old friends during the golden age of Americana, with hamburger joints, sock hops, drive-in movies and rock and roll. Fortunately for all of us, these magical memories were passed down to the younger generations through fun-filled stories of colorful antics, friendly wagers, and most importantly, through an event that we will refer to simply as Scoop.
There are so many talented people that loaned us their time and expertise over the past many months as we drove fast-forward towards this goal of returning this tradition. We want take this opportunity to thank the Scoop crew and give a shout out to Gerry Cook, Bob Pataky, Ron Celesnek, Dick Breen, Jorge Torres, Dave Marion, Josue Pasillas, Kristy Flores, Ryan Anthony Ambrose, Jay Stephen, Tracy Adams, Alan Nowakowski, Chris Szymanski, Aimee Emery Ortiz, Jen Moore, Pat Vukovich, Leanne Linsky, Robert Allen Kutzler, John Hicks Pearce, Colonel Jon Kretlow, and Wayne Motley for showing that it could be done and for climbing aboard for this adventure.

SUMMARY

Illinois ( (listen) IL-ih-NOY) is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States. It is the 6th-most populous U.S. state and 25th-largest state in terms of land area, and is often noted as a microcosm of the entire United States. With Chicago in the northeast, small industrial cities and great agricultural productivity in northern and central Illinois, and natural resources such as coal, timber, and petroleum in the south, Illinois has a diverse economic base, and is a major transportation hub. The Port of Chicago connects the state to other global ports around the world from the Great Lakes, via the Saint Lawrence Seaway, to the Atlantic Ocean; as well as the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River, via the Illinois Waterway on the Illinois River. The Mississippi River, the Ohio River, and the Wabash River form parts of the boundaries of Illinois. For decades, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport has been ranked as one of the world's busiest airports. Illinois has long had a reputation as a bellwether both in social and cultural terms and politics.
The capital of Illinois is Springfield in central Illinois. Although today, the state's largest population center is in and around Chicago in the northeastern part of the state, the state's European population grew first in the west, with French who settled along the Mississippi River, and gave the area the name Illinois Country. After the American Revolutionary War established the United States, American settlers began arriving from Kentucky in the 1780s via the Ohio River, and the population grew from south to north. In 1818, Illinois achieved statehood. After construction of the Erie Canal increased traffic and trade through the Great Lakes, Chicago was founded in the 1830s on th ...

Grover Cleveland
Stephen Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States; as such, he is the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms and to be counted twice in the numbering of the presidents. He was the winner of the popular vote for president three times—in 1884, 1888, and 1892—and was one of the two Democrats elected to the presidency in the era of Republican political domination dating from 1861 to 1933.

SUMMARY
=======
Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 – June 24, 1908) was an American politician and lawyer who was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States, the only president in American history to serve two non-consecutive terms in office (1885–1889 and 1893–1897). He won the popular vote for three presidential elections—in 1884, 1888, and 1892—and was one of two Democrats (with Woodrow Wilson) to be elected president during the era of Republican political domination dating from 1861 to 1933.
Cleveland was the leader of the pro-business Bourbon Democrats who opposed high tariffs, Free Silver, inflation, imperialism, and subsidies to business, farmers, or veterans on libertarian philosophical grounds. His crusade for political reform and fiscal conservatism made him an icon for American conservatives of the era. Cleveland won praise for his honesty, self-reliance, integrity, and commitment to the principles of classical liberalism. He fought political corruption, patronage, and bossism. As a reformer, Cleveland had such prestige that the like-minded wing of the Republican Party, called Mugwumps, largely bolted the GOP presidential ticket and swung to his support in the 1884 election.As his second administration began, disaster hit the nation when the Panic of 1893 produced a severe national depression, which Cleveland was unable to reverse. It ruined his Democratic Party, opening the way for a Republican landslide in 1894 and for the agrarian and silverite seizure of the Democratic Party in 1896. The result was a political realignment that ended the Third Party System and launched the Fourth Party System and the Progressive Era.Cleveland was a formidable policymaker, and he also drew corresponding criticism. His intervention in the Pullman Strike of 1894 to keep the railroads moving angered labor unions nationwide in addition to the party in Illinois; his support of the gold standard and opposition to Free Silver alienated the agrarian wing of the Democratic Party. Critics complained that Cleveland had little imagination and seemed overwhelmed by the nation's economic disasters—depressions and strikes—in his second term. Even so, his reputation for probity and good character survived the troubles of his second term. Biographer Allan Nevins wrote, [I]n Grover Cleveland, the greatness lies in typical rather than unusual qualities. He had no endowments that thousands of men do not have. He possessed honesty, courage, firmness, independence, and common sense. But he possessed them to a degree other men do not. By the end of his second term, public perception showed him to be one of the most unpopular U.S. presidents, and was by then rejected even by most Democrats. Today, Cleveland is considered by most historians to have been a successful leader, generally ranked among the upper-mid tier of American presidents.

After the American Revolutionary War established the United States, American settlers began arriving from Kentucky in the 1780s via the Ohio River, and the population grew from south to north. In 1818, Illinois achieved statehood. After construction of the Erie Canal increased traffic and trade through the Great Lakes, Chicago was founded in the 1830s on the banks of the Chicago River, at one of the few natural harbors on southern Lake Michigan. John Deere's invention of the self-scouring steel plow turned Illinois's rich prairie into some of the world's most productive and valuable farmland, attracting immigrant farmers from Germany and Sweden. The Illinois and Michigan Canal (1848) made transportation between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River valley faster and cheaper. New railroads carried immigrants to new homes, as well as being used to ship commodity crops to Eastern markets. The state became a transportation hub for the nation.By 1900, the growth of industrial jobs in the northern cities and coal mining in the central and southern areas attracted immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe. Illinois was an important manufacturing center during both world wars. The Great Migration from the South established a large community of African Americans in the state, including Chicago, who created the city's famous jazz and blues cultures. Chicago, the center of the Chicago Metropolitan Area, became a global alpha-level city.
Three U.S. presidents have been elected while living in Illinois: Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Barack Obama. Additionally, Ronald Reagan, whose political career was based in California, was born and raised in Illinois. Today, Illinois honors Lincoln with its official state slogan, Land of Lincoln, which has been displayed on its license plates since 1954. The state is the site of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, located in the state capital of Springfield, and the future home of the Barack Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.

Now What?! Advocacy, Activism, and Alliances in American Architecture since 1968
Opening Presentation and Panel Discussion | The Now What?! exhibition examines the little-known history of architects and designers working to further the causes of the civil rights, women’s, and LGBTQ movements of the past fifty years. A presentation and panel discussion on the exhibition's opening night will feature talks by Lori Brown (Syracuse University), Sarah Rafson (Point Line Projects) and Roberta Washington (Roberta Washington Architects), with a special presentation by Robert T. Coles, FAIA, and a conversation with Joyce Hwang, Kelly Hayes McAlonie and Beth Tauke of UB. An exhibit opening reception in the Hayes Hall atrium will follow.
This exhibition writes the overlooked histories of activist architects and organizations who were—and still are—at the forefront of the profession’s participation in larger social and political movements over the last 50 years. This intersectional and interdisciplinary look at the design professions draws historical connections and serves as the only comprehensive narrative of activism in US architecture and design that spans these generations and disparate causes. Now What?! offers an in-depth look at diversity and activism in the design professions since 1968 while crafting a space for public debate and dialogue that looks back as much as it projects forward.
