Cicero: The First Suburb West (Images of America)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Mention the town of Cicero just about anywhere in the world, and you may receive two responses: first, a mimed tommy-gun pointed at you, reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties when Al Capone ran the town; second, a comment about Ciceroâ€™s racial intolerance. Although the old Capone hangouts are mostly gone, and the townâ€™s racial makeup is
changing, those old stereotypes linger. Cicero: The First Suburb West tells the story of this
vibrant community and its links to the pastâ€•including its connections to Western Electric and the tragic Eastland disaster. The Hispanic families that are making their homes in Cicero today mirror the Slavic immigrants who settled here a century ago. Their goal was, and is, to provide safe and affordable housing for their families, and pursue the â€œAmerican Dream.â€
