'The Hippest Trip in America'




The Soul Train photo exhibit at Expo 72 in Chicago, Ill.

 

Don Cornelius was the creator and host of Soul Train, the music variety show, which aired in syndication from 1971 to 2006. As the show's origins are in Chicago, Ill., an exhibit at Expo 72 in Chicago features 56 photographs from an archive of more than 300,000 still photography images to celebrate the 40^th anniversary of the "Hippest trip in America.” The exhibit runs through Oct. 2, 2011.

I was able to see the journey back in time while in town.
