  • Bronzeville, Chicago
    March 26, 2006---- Chicago's Bronzeville always has been a portrait framed by African-American culture -- and that culture is now reviving the historic community. The South Side neighborhood that went from "The Black Metropolis" in the early 20th century to an urban-planning blight by century's end is once again brimming with a renewed fellowship. African-American entrepreneurs are lifting up the community with their own hands. It's a roots vibration that could call out from Chicago to New Orleans. Bronzeville is an idea, always in motion. Louis Armstrong, Nat "King" Cole and boxer Joe Louis all lived in Bronzeville in its heyday. But the neighborhood hit the ropes after World War II, and the knockout punch came in the 1960s when Bronzeville was redefined by large tracts of public housing -- nearly 4,300 units of it, mostly in the Robert Taylor Homes. Taylor himself, head of the Chicago Housing Authority, was a Bronzeville resident. That's when many homeowners and businesses started leaving Bronzeville. But now they're coming back -- and they're bringing food and music with them. Former tax analyst Don Curry, 35, opened the Negro League Cafe, 301 E. 43rd St. Clifford Rome, a former chef with Wolfgang Puck, is helping refurbish the historic Parkway Ballroom, 4445 S. King Dr. A "Parkway Unplugged" series starts in May, featuring intimate gospel, neo-soul and jazz sets. "People are coming back to Bronzeville and bringing business back," said Rome, 34, who grew up at 57th and Bishop. "It is economic empowerment." Duke Ellington and Cole performed for upwardly mobile African Americans at the Parkway in the '40s and '50s.
