CLICK HERE to read a fascinating and educational article by Rick Lightburn, class of 2008 – “Architectural Expressions of the African American Experience in Chicago.” It was originally posted in 2019. He highlights various places throughout the city that tell the African American experience. As he so eloquently starts his article, “The American experience is incomplete without the story of our African American citizens.” Be informed and inspired by the feature, and feel free to add additional recommended places in the comments.
