The Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is seeking an intern to assist with historical research for an exhibition about the Conservative Vice Lords.<BR>
<BR>
An intergenerational group from the Vice Lords has recently formed to create an exhibit about the history of one of the gang’s factions. In the late 1960s, a faction of the gang called the Conservative Vice Lords (CVL) worked to redefine the meaning of a street gang. The CVL became a legitimate not-for-profit entity that fought the effects of drugs, violence, and oppression in their community. The exhibit is community curated and will open in Lawndale in the summer of 2012.<BR>
<BR>
Intern will assist with primary and secondary source research and additional tasks as needed. Previous experience doing research in the social sciences or humanities required. Interest in gang history or the Black Freedom Movement desired. Internship schedule is flexible, 8 hours per week would be ideal. This is an unpaid internship. To apply, please email a resume and letter of interest to </SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Cambria"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10pt'><FONT COLOR="#1055CD"><U><a href="ljunkin@uic.edu">ljunkin@uic.edu</a></U></FONT><FONT COLOR="#222222"> by February 24, 2012.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT>
