Research Assignment: Notable Black Chicagoans

For this assignment, you will complete a first-person questionnaire about an African-American individual from Chicago who did something remarkable in his or her lifetime. You will be presenting your research results briefly for the rest of the class. If you have other ideas please suggest them, but the idea of this assignment is to learn more about people whose accomplishments you are unfamiliar with.
