  • Review this attraction
  • Named for Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, Chicago’s first settler (who was of African descent), this museum chronicles the African-American experience. There is a powerful exhibit on slavery, complete with shackles, while temporary displays cover topics such as early black millionaires, African hair art, and the Kwanzaa holiday celebration.
