South Side Memories with Author Gloria Golec

About this event

Join us for a special presentation with local author, Gloria Golec of South Side Memories. She will discuss her book and the writing and publishing process as well talk about the Archer Heights neighborhood. She will also lead a writing exercise that includes a discussion about memories. Her book inspires readers to reflect on the influences of their childhood and specifically for people who grew up in Chicago. Her memoir is about the joys and struggles of growing up in an era when family, church and neighborhood were solid anchors. This book remembers the hope for a better life that a family had for themselves and especially their children. The stories recall the daily life from the 50s in a working-class Chicago neighborhood, Archer Heights. Books will be available for purchase at the end of the program or on online.
