Bronzeville is an historic neighborhood known as the Black Metropolis that served as the last stop with the Great Migration of African Americans arriving in Chicago in the 1920s. Only a few miles south of downtown Chicago along beautiful Lake Michigan, it was home to millionaires and laborers and was a major hub for African American life, culture, and business. The rich cultural history is still alive and well today! Famous residents included Gwendolyn Brooks, Ida B. Wells, and Louis Armstrong, to name a few. The historic and beautiful Graystone Buildings rival the beauty seen in Chicago's North Side neighborhoods.
