The title of this talk refers to a scathing 1951 critique of Chicago that Richard Wright published in Ebony magazine, which was accompanied by photographs taken by Chicagoan Wayne Miller. Olson will discuss the documentary impulse of Wright’s work, including his 1941 photo-essay 12 Million Black Voices, and his luminous introduction to Horace Cayton and St. Clair Drake’s groundbreaking sociological study, Black Metropolis: A Study of Negro Life in a Northern City (1945).
