Overview of your Chicago tour:

Chicago has always been a city with neighborhoods - neighborhoods of character, complexion, and color. Neighborhoods in Chicago evolved as the people came and left. The Bronzeville Community was the center of African American life and culture. During the time of the great migration, millions of African Americans fled the oppressive south, with thousands settling on the Southside of Chicago. Bronzeville became a vibrant community inhabited by musicians, cooks, politicians, artists, entrepreneurs, and so much more. The movie "Cadillac Records" was based on the recording studio (Chess Records) where "Muddy Waters, Etta James, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry" and the list goes on and on. These musicians gained there claim to fame right here in this amazing community. Come and go with me.
