DAY 3 - HISTORY
September 1, 2021
This picture tells a lot about Steelworkers Park. In the water, what looks like a breakwater can be seen. This transformation has saved Chicago, the breakwaters prevent the lake from flooding the lands of this city due to high waves from storms and erosion. In the ground, there seems to be remains where a railroad track once was. Before, this area was a port for steel shipments for the factory. When this factory closed down, a community of citizens lost their jobs. If there was a way to supply jobs in this park once more for the south community, it could help. That is why Chicago needs to take action at this historic site and transform it to something accessible for the south community and other citizens. Rather then letting time take away these timeless sites.
