Women's History is Chicago History: First Major Street Named After Black Woman
Let's Celebrate at the Power Her Women's Conference this Month
Happy Women's History Month!
Chicago Southsider has been around since 2021, and we have just reached a major milestone.
Our work has helped us land a spot in the Solutions Journalism Network Class of 2023 LEDE Fellowship.
We are the only publication from the United States, and our goal is to share the best of Chicago's South Side around the world. Thank you again for your support!
We published our first Solutions Journalism article about the selling of vacant lots in Englewood. The city will probably sell more vacant lots in the future. Please share and help us spread the work that local businesses and nonprofits are doing to transform the streets of Chicago.
Are you interested in buying vacant lots on the South Side? |
