The @DuSableMuseum is a wonderful space full of art and Black history!! Highly recommended. The museum was founded by artist/activist Margaret Taylor Burroughs and others. A book about Burroughs’s life was written by my dear friend Dr. M.A. Cain: nupress.northwestern.edu/9780810137950/…
There is also a popular museum in Chicago named after him called the DuSable Museum of African American History.
