Get ready for a blast from the past at this year’s Bud Billiken Parade! Arts + Public Life’s South Side Home Movie Project (SSHMP) is excited to share rare footage of the parade in the 1940s-60s from the Ramon Williams Collection, showcasing the vibrant history of this beloved Chicago tradition.

Students of APL’s Teen Arts Council (TAC) will march alongside the mobile screen with their hand-made, vibrant banners. If you are going to the parade, look out for the SSHMP float and TAC students!
