Title: Chicago Daily News Ice Carnival held at the Garfield Park Lagoon with men wearing costumes and ice skates Description: Image of young men wearing costumes and ice skates, posing on the ice at the 1927 Chicago Daily News Ice Carnival, held at the Garfield Park Lagoon in Chicago, Illinois. Local Notes: The 1920s Annual Chicago Daily News Mardi Gras and Costume Skating Carnival, held at Garfield Park, was a popular event in Chicago where prizes were awarded for the best costumes. Unfortunately, many of the costumes featured during the carnival perpetuated harmful racial stereotypes and included offensive depictions of Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities. These representations reflect the deeply ingrained racism of the era and are presented as part of the historical record. Date Depicted: 1927 Creator: Chicago Daily News, Inc.
