The story
The Black Metropolis–Bronzeville District is a historic African-American district in the Bronzeville neighborhood of the Douglas community area on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. The neighborhood encompasses the land between the Dan Ryan Expressway to the west, Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to the east, 31st Street to the north, and Pershing Road (39th street) to the south. The Bronzeville–Black Metropolis National Heritage Area was established in the National Heritage Area Act in 2023. Legislation was passed by Congress in December 2022, setting the tone for President Joe Biden to sign the National Heritage Area Act (Public Law 117-339) into law on January 5, 2023. Up to $10 million in federal funding was designated to support preservation efforts over the course of 15 years. The National Heritage Area will help preserve more than 200 locations in the neighborhood between 18th and 71st Streets.
