The program honors the life and work of Timuel D. Black Jr., the late City Colleges professor, activist and historian. The goal is to help 20 City Colleges students develop into community leaders in the mold of Black, who died in 2021 at the age of 102.
Donate to The Salvation Army, celebrate Kwanzaa with the Africa International House, make an impact with the Greater Chatham Initiative, honor legendary civil activists with the Bronzeville Historical Society, and learn more about the Chicago Fire Department's written exam.
Stories about how Timuel Black generously lent his time and talents filled the evening, with remarks spanning from his love of Black Chicago to how he turned the city into his classroom, from his dislike of vacations to his belief in doing “the right thing to do.”
