The Coalition at the Chicago Blues Festival


The Maxwell Street Historic Preservation Coalition would like to thank Barry Dolins, City of Chicago's longstanding director of the Festival and Richard Schweigel of the Chicago Blues Archive at the Chicago Public Library for providing us with free space in the Chicago Blues Archive Tent at the 1997 Festival. We would also like to thank the organizations and businesses at the festival who put out our literature and helped us sell our buttons.
