The City of Chicago

After living in Chicago for many years I cannot tell you about the many times that I have asked myself and others about the social community lifestyle of citizens in the city of Chicago. It is safe to say that there have been many first and great people and preliminary enactments that have taken place in Chicago. The spirit to create something from nothing, or to achieve what others might think is impossible, has always been the characteristic of the city of Chicago and its citizens. There has always been a “Yes I can” do and an “I will” spirit among the residents of Chicago. When those slogans are carried out progressively, and or with vigor, it has been proven that there are absolutely no limits of expectations in Chicago.

In knowing what I know about the in creditable legacy of Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable; the first non-native settler and founder of Chicago: it is clear to me and many others that the spirit of DuSable can and does define a lot of important decisions and leadership for all over America and the world. What makes the phenomenon so surreal is that the narrative of characteristics is being based on an American immigrant man of African descent.
