The system where Ernest Hemingway, Kathy Griffin, and the Voice of Homer Simpson went is being presented in a documentary America to Me on the STARZ network, beginning August 26.
When I was there in the mid to late 60’s, I had one black classmate out of about 900 graduating seniors. This documentary exhibits the problem of African Americans trying to find themselves in a vary traditional, Republican, conservative suburb.
Oak Park was also the location for the architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Should be interesting. It will probably be disturbing.
