The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center is pleased to serve as historical consultant to the feature film "Chicago 1919". Founded in 1961, the DuSable Museum is the oldest independent Black history museum in the US, and a Smithsonian Institution Affiliate. Our role in the cinematic portrayal of this little-known story in the great industrial city, that was the most popular destination of southern Blacks during the Great Migration, is a scholarly and artistic effort that combines archival research of documents and photography, and other historical elements connected to the city of Chicago in 1919.
