Saw these at IUN back when I studied history there in the early 2000s! Thanks for putting them all up. These are so well put together, such a wonderful resource. Local PBS and IUN professors, along with the Calumet Region Archives, worked together to produce this. Favorite part is the era of Tom Knotts. Associate of Eugene Debs, man of the working class, wanted the best for the city, tried to resist the mills, set in place a great model of education; Gary needs a statue of him!

Gary reminds me of like a Pittsburgh's baby sister. working class manufacturing city. like most if not all city's then had their segregated areas (ethnically common parts). It has its bloody history as all historic city's do. It would be nice to see Gary become thriving city again, but it starts w/ redevelopment of the built environment and small manufacturing businesses, not industrial scale/mass production businesses. (P&R Pawnee lol!)

I lived in East Chicago in the early eighties and my dad had friends who lived in Gary…. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay there too long because of the gangs and my dad made sure we left before it got dark outside! 😢

Honestly, the people of Gary today need to watch these videos. Gary was once a city of hard work & pride, built by people who actually cared.

You have no idea how insanely stupid this comment sounds. There are people who take pride in their community. Gary was systematically dissolved. You should only speak on things you're at least halfway sure about smh
