We’re inviting all of Chicago to join us on October 19 for a free YouTube broadcast of our awards ceremony, hosted by legendary Chicago newscaster Bill Kurtis. The event will feature appearances from our honorees: local historian and social media star Shermann “Dilla” Thomas, globally recognized chef and restaurateur Rick Bayless, and acclaimed playwright, screenwriter, and activist Tony Kushner, who will be interviewed by best-selling author and National Public Radio host Scott Simon.
