If there is one thing that you read today make sure that it's "Queer Bronzeville", a brilliant virtual history of black gays, lesbians and transgenders on Chicago’s South Side.

The online exhibit focuses on the Chicago's original black community on the South Side and was created by Tristan Cabello, a doctoral candidate at Northwestern University. The wiki is a collection of more than 100 historical documents—including photographs, videos, maps, interviews and articles.
