Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.

 

Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.

 

I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.

Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.

Built in 1909, the LaSalle was one of Chicago's most grand hotels. Twenty-two stories high, the hotel sat at the northwest corner of LaSalle and Madison streets catering to the city's elite, and high class travelers.

A dark footnote in Chicago's history happened here, when on June 5th 1946, a fire swept thru the hotel, killing 61 people. The hotel was refurbished, and was able to continue on until July of 1976, when operations ceased and it was torn down shortly after that.

W. Eugene Smith’s Landmark Photo Essay, ‘Nurse Midwife’

 

“In December 1951, LIFE published one of the most extraordinary photo essays ever to appear in the magazine. Across a dozen pages and featuring more than 20 of the great W. Eugene Smith’ pictures, the story of a tireless South Carolina nurse and midwife named Maude Callen opened a window on a world that, surely, countless LIFE readers had never seen — and, perhaps, had never even imagined. Working in the rural South in the 1950s, in “an area of some 400 square miles veined with muddy roads,” as LIFE put it, Callen served as “doctor, dietician, psychologist, bail-goer and friend” to thousands of poor (most of them desperately poor) patients — only two percent of whom were white.”

Ciampi" - LIFE Magazine, May 25, 1959. Mural by artist Anne Knorr. Gorgeous color photos by Fred Lyon.
