Chagall designed the windows to commemorate the bicentennial of the USA. First window: Chicago as a center for rhythm and blues; second window: unity and peace, symbolized by a dove, found within the multiple neighborhoods of the city, religious freedom in America. Third window: An angel-like figure, menorah, and rose window are shown along with immigrants of different backgrounds celebrating as they are literally thrown into “the great American melting pot.” | |
