Title:Chicago Daily News Ice Carnival held at the Garfield Park Lagoon with men wearing costumes and ice skatesDescription: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:1927Creator:Chicago Daily News, Inc.Creator Role:photographerPhysical Format:glass negativesExtent:4 x 5 in.Copyright Notice:No Known CopyrightCredit Line:DN-0082540, Chicago Sun-Times/Chicago Daily News collection, Chicago Historical SocietyAccession Number:1960.784Acquisition Source:Gift of Field Enterprises, Inc.Collection Type:Prints & Photographs - Chicago Daily NewsStorage Location:Chicago Daily News negatives collection, Chicago History MuseumCatalog Record ID:128936Max Pixels - Width:482Max Pixels - Height:391Help improve this content
