Would these bricks stop you in your path? When they adorned a building on Chicago's South Side, they told passersby that Bronzeville was a neighborhood where artists could thrive.
By the 1930s the Bronzeville neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side was home to a quarter of a million African American migrants, mostly from the rural South. Nearby white residents fled to other parts of the city and the suburbs, leading to a “Black Belt” segregated from white Chicagoans. Despite many challenges, a network of black-owned institutions including businesses, music clubs, social groups, and churches anchored the community.
Joe Jordan—seen here in the second image on a 1912 music club match book—was a successful Chicago ragtime artist and band leader at Bronzeville’s Pekin Theater, billed as the nation’s first African American-owned and managed entertainment center. In 1916 Jordan invested in a large mixed-use building in the heart of Bronzeville. The Jordan Building was one of few African American-owned buildings in the neighborhood. An exterior shot of the building is the third image in the sequence. [Images courtesy Tim Samuelson]
