The African-American John Baptiste Point Dusable is considered as the genitor of Chicago. The 1780 years are the foundations through commercial posts he created. Then, the history of Chicago is celebrated through the trame of descendents of Dusable. The rich history is portrayed in terms of economic, cultural and political achievements. Barack Obama, current United States president, is one
of the nicest successes of the African-American of Chicago.
