Disasters pose an enduring civic challenge in how to ensure recovery systems are equitable. Using the Great Chicago Fire as a case study, discover how government policies, social status, decisions, and chance played a role in the rebuilding of Chicago. The session will include time in the City on Fire exhibition, primary source analysis activities, and trying your hand at our board game Rubble to Recovery. Leave with classroom resources and a leg up on field trip planning.
