One of the goals we had with this book is to show how the buildings and the places in evanston illustrate our history.

I was adamant about this one being included in the book, even though it's no longer in in the city of Evanston of the Emerson. Why was and I picked it because it was such an important building to the african-american community here in evanston, when.

You're going down the streets in evanston, you will see things that really tell you about where our town was, what the topography was like, what people believe what they didn't believe, and you know a simple little building like this embodies so much and who knew so.

I actually rephotographed a lot of these buildings and a lot of the photographs you see in the book are contemporary photographs of older buildings. We created this balance. We've got these really big houses, but we've got these. We've got the Thayer cottages, we've got the ridgeview Ridgeway bungalows 1926, there was 19 20 and then the Main Street houses were 1949.
