     The West Chicago City Museum is proud to announce that it has received a grant of $10,000 from the Illinois Humanities Council (IHC) to support a traveling exhibit based on the oral histories collected by Community High School students and Museum staff. There has never been a written history of Mexican immigration to West Chicago, so oral history has been used to provide a framework for that story. "The exhibit will tell a local story but one of great national significance," said Museum Director LuAnn Bombard.
