Chicago Black History Month

You cannot tell the history of Chicago without telling the history of Black Chicago. And you cannot tell the history of the United States without the history of Black America.

In our first episode back, we dive deep into the origins of Black History Month—long before it was officially recognized—and into the people who fought to ensure Black history was preserved, taught, and honored.
