SUMMARY:Summer of '54 Tapping event for the Lost Boyz
DESCRIPTION:Summer of ’54 is an IPA born of a random conversation between collaborators Jay Westbrook & Shakeia Taylor. \nThe name pays tribute to the first summer both Chicago baseball teams had a Black player. Minnie Minoso joined the White Sox in 1952\, while Ernie Banks joined the Cubs in late 1953. The beer is a celebration of baseball and friendship. In that spirit\, proceeds from the sale of each pint will be donated to Lost Boyz Inc\, a South Shore based organization that provides instruction\, training\, and the competition of organized baseball and softball to youths who are not as likely exposed to the game and its many disciplines. \nOur Special Tapping event includes:\nBuffet of Texas HotLink\, Bratwurst\, and Cuban sandwich-inspired sausage link. Also\, hot dogs for kids\, house-made chips\, baked beans\, and more! \nAdult tickets include 1 12 oz pour of Summer of ’54 IPA \nKids tickets do not include beer \nAdditional pints available for $4 each\, with $1 being donated back to the Lost Boyz Inc. \nClick here to purchase a ticket! \n  \nNABJCC is a co-sponsor of the event. NABJ Chicago president Brandon Pope will be moderating a discussion with brewer Jay Westbrook and NABJ member Shakeia Taylor.

SUMMARY:Rise Again: Tulsa and The Red Summer
DESCRIPTION:National Geographic has set a June 18 date for the premiere of its documentary film Rise Again: Tulsa and the Red Summer\, the network said Monday. The documentary focuses on the two-day Tulsa Massacre in 1921 that led to the murder of hundreds of Black people and left thousands homeless and displaced\, said network executives. \nThe film\, produced by Dawn Porter (Good Trouble: John Lewis)\, reveals insights into racial conflict incidents that erupted in the early 20th century. It also follows the decades-long effort by descendants and community members to find victims’ bodies and unearth truths that have been suppressed for nearly a century. \nWatch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFR0wUtcrZU . \nGuests can RSVP  by clicking on here: https://rsvp.nationalgeographicevents.com/_dmm00.

SUMMARY:Investing Where We Live: The Bold Collaboration to Rebuild BIPOC Communities
DESCRIPTION:NABJ-CHICAGO PRESENTS\nInvesting Where We Live: “The Bold Collaboration to Rebuild BIPOC Communities” \nTHURSDAY\, APRIL 22\, 2021 \n6:00 PM – 7:30 PM CST VIA ZOOM \nOpen to All Members!\nZoom link will be sent to registrants \n*1ST 50 MEMBERS WHO RSVP AND ATTEND WILL RECEIVE FREE $20 DOORDASH GIFT CARD ON NIGHT OF THE EVENT! \nTo RSVP email rsvp@nabjchicago.org. \n  \n\nAbout “Investing Where We Live”\n  \nNABJ-CHICAGO is privileged to be selected to frame this citywide discussion on how the devastating impact of COVID-19 in Black and Latinx communities has highlighted inequitable policies and historic divestment on Chicago’s South and West sides. While the vaccine will help contain the virus\, collective and rapid action will be required to rectify history rather than repeat it. That’s where the “Mapping COVID-19 Recovery” project\, a series of maps illustrating where public\, private and philanthropic sector investments are going in BIPOC communities\, comes in. \nAmong early findings: The year before the pandemic\, foundations funded more Downtown Chicago organizations than communities predominantly Black\, Indigenous and People of Color. More dollars have flowed to those communities and to BIPOC-led organizations since the pandemic. In this groundbreaking collaborative\, philanthropic stakeholders and researchers from 25 Chicago civic organizations have come together to share data about shifting their investments in response to the pandemic and examining what more can be done. \n

SUMMARY:Broadcast vs. Print Writing: Making It Sing\, Succinctly
