Yesterday, Northlight Theatre staff took a meaningful tour of Evanston with the Shorefront Legacy Center, immersing ourselves in the Black history of our community. We visited key historical sites such as the 5th ward and the former Community Hospital of Evanston. For those interested in learning more, the Shorefront Legacy Center's podcast, Evanston Rules, will feature an insightful series on the Community Hospital of Evanston starting June 26. We highly recommend tuning in!
