SUMMARY:African American Civil War Soldiers Honor Roll - Call for names
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends and Community Members\, \nAcross Chicago\, countless stories of courage and service remain untold. Among them are the legacies of Black men who\, during the Civil War\, donned Union blue and fought for freedom—not only for themselves\, but for generations to come. \nOver the past two years\, Bronzeville Historical Society has encouraged family historians and community members to look closely at their family trees\, to uncover the names and stories of these patriot ancestors. Already\, a few names have been shared with us: \n\n• Enos Bond\n   Nero Cooper\n• Henry Slaughter\n• James Jackson\n• Charles Griffin\n   Mack Reese\n• Zach Bell\n• James Taylor\n• John Litre\n            and more….\nThese men’s sacrifices deserve to be remembered\, honored\, and taught. That is why we are developing a special exhibit that will feature images of these soldiers alongside their biographies. This project will be a lasting tribute\, ensuring that their names live on and inspire future generations. Bronzeville Historical Society is collecting names of African American Union Soldiers of the Civil War\n\nthrough December 2025.  The names will be added to an exhibit proposed for Illinois250 programs in June 2026. \nWe now turn to you. We invite Black Chicagoans to contribute the names of their Civil War ancestors who served. Whether you have a photograph\, a document\, a family story\, or simply a name passed down through the years\, we want to include your ancestor in this historic effort. \nTogether\, we can weave a collective tapestry of remembrance—one that uplifts our community’s role in shaping the nation’s history.\nPlease send names\, stories\, or photographs to: Sherry Williams \n\nEmail: bronzevillehistoricalsociety@gmail.com\nor by mail at 4455 S. King Drive Suite 103\n\n                        Chicago\, IL 60653 \nLet us honor our Civil War heroes by making their bravery visible. Their courage made our future possible; now it is our turn to carry their memory forward.

SUMMARY:DuSable Heritage Association's 26th Anniversary Celebration Gala
DESCRIPTION:Join the DHA on March 21st\, 2026 for the DuSable Heritage Association’s 26th Anniversary Celebration Gala at the historic Palmer House Hotel in Chicago! \nCelebrate a quarter century of informing\, educating\, and illuminating the legacy of Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable\, founder of the city of Chicago over 200 years ago\, during an evening filled with elegance and inspiration. Guests will enjoy Exciting live and silent auctions featuring unique items and experiences and a thrilling raffle with fantastic prizes to win. This milestone event will honor their past achievements while paving the way for future initiatives to ensure that the rich legacy of the DuSable Heritage Association continues to thrive. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to make a difference and be part of a night to remember! \nOn the verge of our nation’s 250th anniversary\, let us make DuSable’s role in creating Chicago and contributing to the fabric of our nation. Let us ensure that his life story ceaselessly inspire countless immigrants to accomplish greater feats. \nFor the past twenty-five years\, the DuSable Heritage Association (DHA) has been enhancing the image and legacy of Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable\, born of a black mother and a French father\, circa 1745. Around 1778\, he immigrated to the US\, married Kitihawa of the Potawatomi  tribe\, and established the first trading post at the junction of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan (today’s Apple Store location). This settlement later became Chicago\, and the rest is history.
