Mahalia Jackson's home - 8358 S. Indiana Ave. |
When Ms. Jackson moved into this house there was racial tension, however, ultimately the whites in this community moved out. The fear that this community would become a ghetto proved to be incorrect.
An unknown to me tidbit shared from Chicago History Today, this house was home to a white surgeon who declared that he would be proud to sell his home to Jackson. Unfortunately many of his then neighbors disagreed.
Awesome. That's my dream.
ReplyDeleteGreat house. It's really a dream house.
