Who started the developing communities project in Chicago?

The Developing Communities Project began as an offshoot of the Calumet Community Religious Conference a Catholic social justice group on Chicago's South Side and Northern Indiana. The CCRC was led by Jerry Kellman who hired Barack Obama as the first director of the new DCP in 1985. Like most community organizers, Kellman was influenced by the teachings of Saul Alinsky who began organizing in Chicago in the 1930s and died in 1972. Mr. Kellman is currently a member of the parish staff at St. Mary of the Woods Catholic Church in Chicago where he is responsible for Adult Religious Education.

Does an on-line Chicago Portrait Gallery exist for finding paintings or photos of famous Chicagoans?

Here are a few answers. 1) This book might be available at your local library: Chicago portraits : biographies of 250 famous Chicagoans Sawyers, June Skinner, 1957- Publisher: Loyola University Press, Pub date: c1991. Pages: xv, 322 p. : ISBN: 0829407006 2) This site has a good list of more recent famous Chicagoans: http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/chicago/links/famous.html The links on that site try to point directly to the appropriate person on http://www.biography.com, but really end up on the search page. You can go from there though, and the few I tried include a decent picture. 3) www.earlychicago.com and http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org also have lots of pictures. Not as neat as you may want, but better than nothing!

What does black stand for?

Death and Darkness!! The color BLACK usually implies evil!! It can mean nocturnal-ism - creatures of the night such as WOLVES and VAMPIRES!! BLACK is the base of the GOTH style!! GOTH is not an EVIL religion or a cult that worships the DEVIL or anything negative!! It is simply a type of style that many people take to naturally!! People who usually wear a lot of BLACK on a regular basis wear it because they like the way it looks!! It doesn't necessarily mean that they are "666" - DEVIL SERVERS!! It's just a punk style that has developed over the years!! EVIL is just a stereotype!! Just because someone dresses a certain way doesn't mean that they worship the DEVIL!! Appearances can be deceiving!!
