Cicero: The First Suburb West (Images of America: Illinois)

Betty Carlson Kay

4.9/5 (27753 ratings)

Description:Mention the town of Cicero just about anywhere in the world, and you may receive two responses: first, a mimed tommy-gun pointed at you, reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties when Al Capone ran the town; second, a comment about Cicero’s racial intolerance. Although the old Capone hangouts are mostly gone, and the town’s racial makeup is changing, those old stereotypes linger. Cicero: The First Suburb West tells the story of this vibrant community and its links to the past—including its connections to Western Electric and the tragic Eastland disaster. The Hispanic families that are making their homes in Cicero today mirror the Slavic immigrants who settled here a century ago. Their goal was, and is, to provide safe and affordable housing for their families, and pursue the “American Dream.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
