Chicago, the center of America's heartland, from its founding in the
late 1700s by Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, a French-educated black man,
to the modern day Gypsies who live on Maxwell Street. It's a city
steeped in Black History. This is the story of a city where a unique
African American history has grown, a center for the emergence of jazz,
blues, dance, art, and the DuSable Museum of African American History.
