Chicago in the Sixties: Remembering a Time of Change

Chicago in the Sixties: Remembering a Time of Change is a book about the city during two "decades." One began in 1960 as a continuation of the 1950s and lasted until around 1965. Then, as if a tornado roared through the area, the period from 1965 and throughout the 1970s shifted dramatically in its social, economic and political directions. This a book of the memories of 80 current and former Chicagoans, all with different backgrounds and experiences, but with a common focus: remembrances of a decade of change. The introduction to the book is written by Bob Sirott.
