CHICAGO (CBS) – You've probably heard people say that Chicago is the second-biggest city for the Polish community outside Warsaw, Poland.

Pulaski Day is a city holiday after all. CBS 2's Lauren Victory took us behind the scenes of a new opportunity to learn some Chicago immigration history.

The Back Home: Polish Chicago Exhibit is coming so soon, only a few tricky tasks remain, like getting the lights just right.

Measurements are needed to preserve historical artifacts like a wedding dress from 1947. It's made from U.S. Army surplus parachutes. The Polish bride and groom met at a Nazi labor camp.

Curator Peter Alter told CBS 2 that planning for this Chicago History Museum exhibit began in 2015.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I can't believe this kind of trash is being allowed in Chicago!!  This is about white people only and should not exist in a diversity conscious city like Chicago!! :whistle:
