Elaine Evans / Thursday, October 12, 2023 / Categories: Illinois Heritage, General News Illinois Heritage, September–October 2023 Volume 26, Number 5 To our readers In this issue of Illinois Heritage we meet several interesting people from our Prairie State past—Studs Terkel, Milton Kimbler, Eve Josephson Garrison, ––and we revisit Eldorado, Illinois, at the turn of the last century when rioters shut down a Tuskegee model school for African American children and created a “sundown town” in southern Illinois. We also look at the Potawatomi Trail of Death, which came through central Illinois in 1837. 2024 membership renewals for the Society are going out in coming weeks. Please renew as soon as possible using your ISHS membership number, which you’ll find with your mailing label on the back of the Heritage. Online renewals save us postage, which, if you notice, keeps climbing. Thanks for all you do for Illinois history. Renew today and share your Heritage.
