Approximately 300 people toured Bronzeville to learn about the history of Eugene Williams and how his unjust racist killing sparked the Chicago Race Riot of 1919.
The program began at the Chicago Military Academy (3519 S Giles Ave, Chicago, IL 60653) and the bike/trolley tour highlighted key race riot sites as well as other locations showing the resilience of the Black community now known as Bronzeville including the Chicago Defender, Chicago Bee, Ida B. Wells, and Victory Monument.
