I am intersted in the history of Bronzeville and the Drexel Park area where my parents grew up. I am also looking for information on the Morgan Park neighborhood and the Mt.Calvary Church where my grandparents and extended family built homes and attended church in the 1930's. My grandfather had a home at 11426 S Racine which is now a park and my great aunt had a home @ 11357 S May. There were others in the immediate area and I would like to know about it.
