Don Hayner, Beverly resident and retired editor-in-chief of the Chicago Sun-Times, giving his presentation at the Givins Castle today, April 7. Haynor spoke on the topic of his upcoming book, Jesse Binga, the first African American banker in Chicago. This is the type of program that helps put the history of race relations and Chicago's hyper-segregated South Side into perspective. Thank you, Mr. Hayner, for sharing your research with us. The program was put on by the Ridge Historical Society and the proceeds went to the Castle restoration fund.
