It's hard to get Anjanette Young out of my head after experiencing the "I Am Her" exhibit at the DuSable. Young is the victim of a Chicago Police raid that raided the wrong house back in 2019. That horrible incident is the basis for the exhibit which also delves into the plight of black women in this country more generally.
After wandering the DuSable I went on a tour of Englewood with Dilla and he mentioned various musicians that came up from New Orleans, settled in Chicago, and would become legends. This includes the legendary Mahalia Jackson who is singing in my ears right now.
