Bronzeville is a historic African American district on the south side of Chicago. It’s one of the earliest sightings of the effect of Black magic and is proof of the power African Americans have when they come together.

Although it’s only seven miles long, the area saw more than 3,000,000 Black Chicago citizens and prominent figures during the 1920s through 50s.

Bronzeville created thriving Black businesses and institutions including Provident Hospital, Parkway Community House, Overton Hygienic Company, Binga Bank, and more now-historic landmarks in the city. These businesses gave African Americans access to resources that racists tried to deprive them of.
