Black history and heritage have shaped Chicago in immeasurable ways. In 1926, historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson started Negro History Week to promote learning about and celebrating Black history. This effort led to the creation of Black History Month. Chicago quickly became one of the cities where the observance took root through schools, cultural institutions, and community organizations.

There are countless ways to observe Black History Month in Chicagoland, from visiting museums to cultural events. Let our real estate agents be your guides to celebrating Black history and culture in Chicago.
