The Digital Divide: A Migration Story

Before Chicago, there was Peoria.
Join Peoria Proud’s InQueery educational series for The Digital Divide: A Migration Story, presented in partnership with Illinois Humanities and featuring Road Scholar Kyla Williams Tate.
Through storytelling, history, poetry, and discussion, Kyla explores how migration across Illinois—including the Great Migration—continues to shape digital access, opportunity, and belonging today. Her engaging presentation connects the past to today’s conversations about equity, community, and technology.
