“Going to Chicago” were the words said, sung and shouted by African-Americans during the Great Migration, forever changing the city and the nation. But Chicago's Black experience predates that by nearly a century and a half, and continues to this day. Hear about prominent Black Chicagoans from Jean Baptiste Point DuSable to Ida B. Wells to Barack Obama and beyond. Join presenter Clarence Goodman to explore the rich, deep and profound experience.
