In Montgomery, Alabama, a statue of Rosa Parks stands just blocks from the State Capitol. At her feet, granite markers memorialize four other women, but the monument offers little else about them. These women have largely been forgotten, until now. The lesser-known figures who powered the Civil Rights Movement are the subject of a brand-new opera, set to make its world premiere next week in Chicago.

Chicago does not appear to have substantially expanded safety protocols for its busy calendar of events and festivals this summer, despite deadly attacks this year in New Orleans and Vancouver and calls from at least one alderman to bolster protections for big gatherings. Chicago’s summer festival season effectively kicks off this weekend with Sueños, the Latin music festival, which draws tens of thousands of people to Grant Park over two days.
