Come to the Windy City for the Chicago Humanities Festival October 28-November 12, and stay at the nearby and affordable LaQuinta Inn & Suites in historic Hyde Park!
The Chicago Humanities Festival brings together novelists, scholars, musicians, performers, historians, theologians and poets to offer discussions, exhibits and screenings. The Chicago Humanities Festival’s credo: “Ideas excite us. They propel us to do good. To explore who we are as individuals and communities.” Add to that, it’s a heck of a lot of fun.
This year’s theme is “Belief.” Featured speakers: former Vice President Al Gore discussing his book and film “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power”; former United States Ambassador to the United Nations and Pulitzer Prize winner for “A Problem from Hell,” Samantha Power; “Alexander Hamilton” author Ron Chernow discussing his new book “Ulysses S. Grant”; CNN’s Reza Aslan on his book “The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth”; NPR radio host Krista Tippet will interview journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates about his newest book “We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy.”
The Chicago Humanities Festival will be held in 10 venues in and around the Loop area. For a list of speakers, locations and tickets, go online to https://chicagohumanities.org/ and follow the prompts, or call the box office at 605-8444
