The Chicago Freedom Movement exhibit presented by the Miami Valley Fair Housing Center, Sinclair Community College, the Dayton REALTORS® and First Financial
In 1965–1966, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. moved his crusade for Civil Rights to Chicago, in a campaign named The Chicago Freedom Movement. For the first time Dr. King raised attention to the issue of open housing. He did this in a series of infamous, nonviolent freedom marches in all-white neighborhoods in the summer of 1966. Photographer and Civil Rights activist, Bernard Kleina, documented the open housing marches. Widely praised as the only photographer to have captured full color snapshots of Dr. King in this era, his photographic images depicts a relentless struggle that coincided with a growing resistance of working-class whites who feared the impact that open housing would have on their neighborhoods.
