November 4-14, 1999
Chicago Humanities Festival X explored ideas about the renewal and reinvention of the world's greatest cities; the clash between the generations and generational values; the need for genuinely new thought and writing and the need to preserve the art, literature and music of the past. New & Old presenters addressed everyday, age-old, and brand-new questions that challenge world leaders and brilliant writers, musicians, historians, and artists – as well as the rest of us.
