Today from 6 to 8 PM at Roosevelt University's Congress Lounge (430 S. Michigan), a panel of authors, professors, and nonprofit leaders will discuss "possible futures for Chicago as a city that 'works for us' in light of the civic energy that surrounded the failed 2016 Olympic bid." Panelists include Louder Than a Bomb founder and poet Kevin Coval; U of C associate professor of American history Adam Green; Executive Director of the Grassroots Collaborative Amisha Patel; and Executive Director of Girls in the Game Amy Skeen. The event will be moderated by WBEZ's Natalie Moore. Admission is free but reservations are recommended.
