Nearly one-third of the population of Chicago is African American. This amounts to approximately 800 thousand African American residents in the city.

Harold Washington was the first African American mayor of Chicago. He replaced Jane Byrne.
The city of Chicago encouraged African American migration primarily through economic opportunities, particularly in manufacturing and the stockyards, which offered jobs that were often unavailable in the South due to racial discrimination. Additionally, the Great Migration was fueled by the promise of better living conditions and the chance to escape the oppressive Jim Crow laws. Community networks and organizations also played a crucial role in supporting newcomers, providing resources and fostering a sense of belonging. This combination of factors made Chicago an attractive destination for many African Americans seeking a better life.
In 1928 African American voters in Chicago helped elect Oscar Depriest. He was the first African American representative to congress from a northern state.
