The Missing Exhibition: Building Aquí

The Missing Exhibition

1 octobre 2025

À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE

When students from a South Side high school confronted the Chicago History Museum over its lack of Latino/a/e representation, they set off a chain of events that led to a historic new exhibition—and a reckoning with the past.

This episode also traces the life and legacy of Rudy Lozano, the activist whose name the students carried, and legendary folk artist Jesus 'Chuy' Negrete, whose corridos have preserved history and honored the lives of countless Latine Chicagoans. But a lyric in one of Chuy's corridos hinted at a chasm-sized divergence between a communities experience and the "official narrative."
