  1. I am impressed by the historical importance of this location to the African Americans in the United States of America. I am living in a Community in Chicago, Illinois; named Chatham. The community is a majority Black community, and is historic as well, due to the array of historical Black American who lived and still live here. My organization, People of The Sun, LLC, was conceived to identify and celebrate the mirrored name and significance of the two Chathams, and to strive for self empowerment underserved human being of the African diaspora. I see this location as, Chatham 2.0; it not only includes the Chatham community, but it is inclusive of all African Americans everywhere. Our ancestors are the same, our family is forge of a common ancestry.
