Join us when civil rights attorney Flint Taylor presents THE TOURTURE MACHINE.

Unfolding against the backdrop of Chicago politics from the late ‘60s to the present, his book is the political memoir of a tireless freedom fighter with a sense of humor; it is also a guide to the inner workings of the legal system, the importance of investigative reporting, and the power of community engagement to help turn the tide against police brutality.

A lawyer for the people, Flint Taylor has spent nearly fifty years fighting for justice, from the courtrooms of Cook County to the US Supreme Court.

Please join us as we celebrate the launch of children's book author Whitney Stewart's new picture book, WHAT DO YOU CELEBRATE?: Holidays and Festivals Around the World.
