The HistoryMakers welcomed and paid tribute to music icon Berry Gordy, Jr., founder of Motown Records, during An Evening with Berry Gordy on Saturday, November 17, 2012 at The Art Institute of Chicago. Award-winning journalist Gwen Ifill conducted the one-on-one interview that was personal, humorous, candid and insightful. The interview was taped before a live audience and will air on PBS-TV in February 2013 during Black History Month.  Ifill’s interview led the audience through Gordy’s celebrated life as the founder of Motown Records, once the most successful African American-owned enterprise in the United States. His career has positively impacted the music, television, and movie industries as he groomed and presented such international stars as Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Michael Jackson, the Jackson Five, and Marvin Gaye among many others.

Flick Experience!
