Project 2-3-1 - ACT 2: Three Blocks. The Story of Elgin's African American Heritage

To celebrate Black History Month 2019, the Elgin History Museum’s documentary, Project 2-3-1: Two Boxcars, Three Blocks, One City: A Story of Elgin’s African American Heritage will be rolled out on YouTube. Act 1 was released on February 2nd and is available to view on our channel. This video is Act 2, and Act 3 will be released on February 28th. The 75-minute documentary contains extensive interviews, many never seen photos and in-depth histories that will bring to life the story of Elgin’s African American Heritage. In this Act, community leader Ernie Broadnax leads a tour of the “Settlement” neighborhood in Elgin along Fremont, Ann, and Hickory streets. In the 1860s, the “Settlement” was the only place African Americans, immigrants, and poor people could live. Despite those small confines a community emerged that founded churches, fought for an education and activity centers for their children, celebrated the arts, built businesses, and organized civic organizations. The film was produced in partnership with Grindstone Productions, Elgin Area Historical Society and Ernie Broadnax. We are releasing the video on YouTube to spread awareness and gain a larger audience, so please subscribe to our channel! The video can be live-streamed to schools, churches, and community organizations to start a discussion on African American history, social justice, and civil rights. The DVD is for sale on our website for $15. https://elginhistory.org/product/proj...
