In this video, we’re turning back the clock, setting our time-traveling DeLorean to 1780. Picture a time when black backs were breaking under the oppressive weight of the slave trade, working tirelessly to churn out cotton and build the American economy. Yet, amid this struggle, a remarkable black man made a discovery that would eventually house millions of people, shaping the destiny of a city we now know as Chicago.
So, buckle up, time travelers, we’re about to unveil a tale that might just flip your historical perspective like a pancake at a Chicago brunch spot.
