# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Digital Divide:
A Migration Story
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: The railroad made Kankakee, and the railroad 
carried the Migration. When the Illinois Central reached the brand-new town in 1853, it cut the trip to Chicago from six days by wagon to three hours by rail. That same Illinois Central line became 
the main artery of the Great Migration, carrying hundreds of 
thousands of Black Southerners north toward a different future.

YOUR COMMUNITY'S MIGRATION STORY, TOLD HERE

The digital divide did not begin with the internet. It began with movement. Blending lecture, storytelling, and performance, Kyla Williams Tate traces how the Great Migration and other movements across Illinois shaped today's patterns of digital access, trust, and opportunity. 
Through stories, data, poetry, and lived experience, she connects the journeys of the past to the questions of belonging and connection we are still living today.
