Part of a multiple property study entitled Black Metropolis
Cook County, IL
Listed: 04/30/1986
Erected as a prominent Jewish social club in 1887, the building achieved its greatest significance as the home of the People’s Movement Club, a pioneering black social organization led by Oscar DePriest.
Beginning in 1917, Unity Hall was the headquarters of the Peoples Movement Club, a political organization headed by Oscar Stanton De Priest, the primary leader in the drive for fair political representation in Black Metropolis. From the time of his arrival, De Priest was deeply interested in the political structure of the city, and his involvement soon resulted in his election as a Cook County Commissioner in 1904. As the black population grew during the first decade of the century, a movement began to establish representation for the black community in Chicago's municipal government. De Priest formed careful alliances with the white Republican political bosses who controlled the Black Metropolis wards, broadening his political support. Aspirations for black representation in the City Council were realized in 1915, when De Priest defeated three black and five white candidates in the Republican primary for the Second Ward aldermanic post, and with the combined support of the community and the white Republican Party bosses, was the first black to be elected to the City Council. De Priest took an active role in attending to the needs and goals of his constituents, one of his most controversial acts being an ordinance which he proposed to the City Council in 1916 which would have revoked the business license of any establishment that discriminated in providing goods and services on the basis of race. The ordinance met with vigorous opposition and was dropped from further consideration by the City Council.
Upon election, De Priest sought to establish a new political organization supported from within the black community, creating the Peoples Movement Club in 1917. The Peoples Movement Club political organization remained one of the best organized political groups in Black Metropolis. De Priest later became Third Ward Committeeman in 1924, and in 1928 had the distinction of being the first black from the North to be elected to the United States House of Representatives, serving for three consecutive terms.

On this image, the sense of unity it is present when the roof is the first thing noticeable and not each of its divisions. Each part of the glass and structure work together in a cohesive relationship, producing feelings of completeness and order.

Unity Temple, 1905-1908, Frank Lloyd Wright, 875 Lake St.
One of the most important Wright's building in the beginning of the 20th century. Many people think it's the first modern building. Concrete only. Double core: the taller side is the Temple, and the shorter side is the House. No window at the street side. Lighting mostly from roof windows with yellow and green stained glass.
Wright said when he designed this building, for the first time he realized that the true soul of a building is not wall but space.

A photo illustration depicting the unity between the United States of America and Paris after the terroist attacks on Paris on Friday, Nov. 13, 2015 in Saint-Denis, France, that left 130 citizens dead. (Photo by: Kristina Vicario)
I created this photo illustration by using the paintbrush tool to mirror the French flag across the faces of the building in different layers and then lowering the opacity of each layer to allow both the building and the color to show through. I also placed the Eiffel Tower in the back of my photo using the magnetic lasso tool around the structure itself, and then using the eraser to hide the surrounding sky from the original image. I then dragged the image over to my illustration and resized it using the transform tool and then lowered the opacity to symbolize the lasting effect here in the United States.
