Date with History: Clearing a Path for Democracy
Hari Jones, historian and curator at the DuSable Museum, will lead a discussion titled ‘Clearing a Path for Democracy: Citizens Soldiers of the Fighting Eighth in World War I’. Organized as a regiment in 1898 for service during the Spanish American War, the 8th Infantry Illinois National Guard fought in World War I as the 370th United States Infantry. The regiment’s motto was “One Country – One Flag.” This presentation tells the unique story of this regiment from the letters, reports, and books written by the citizen soldiers who served in the regiment.
