This morning, our plaque for Site 12 was successfully installed. Church of the Holy Covenant, 925 W. Diversey, was a key location of the Rainbow Coalition and evidence used in cases resulting from the FBI raid on December 4, 1969.
We will let you know about our remaining plaques as soon as we have more information. (See Tuesday’s email.)
