OP/RF Class
of 1953 Attitudes Toward Ernest Hemingway and Frank Lloyd Wright
as Icons of Oak Park
Question - When you examine the tourist
promotional literature about Oak Park, it is celebrated as the
birthplace of Ernest Hemingway and where the architecture of Frank
Lloyd Wright can best be appreciated. As I recall, neither of
these people were held in such esteem in the 1950s. Some older
and conservative Oak Parkers thought both of these gentlemen were
immoral. They would have not thought it in good taste to use them
as the public image of the village. What do you think, is it a
good idea to have Hemingway and Wright as the official image of
Oak Park?
