It's worth pointing out that the black population in Chicago would have been quite low at the turn of the century. The northern population of blacks mostly migrated out of the deep south until later in the middle part of the 20th century.. A lot of white northerners don't understand that a lot of things that seem uniquely black to them is actually the product of different deep-south cultures getting mixed up together in the black neighborhoods after they migrated north.
