The Soul of Bronzeville Lives On
The DuSable Museum's exhibit, The Soul of Bronzeville: The Regal, Club DeLisa and The Blues has been so popular, they've decided to keep it up for a little (or maybe a lot) longer.
The show focuses on the Blues, exemplifying and paying tribute to Bronzeville's musical legend, taking viewers on a tour of what most of us are too young to remember. Rare artifacts include an original booth from the legendary Checkerboard Lounge, original 1928 blueprints from the Regal Theater and Howlin' Wolf's original guitar.
As far as I can tell, the show will be up indefinitely. Don't take my word for it, though. Get down there now and check it out while you still can. Visit the DuSable Museum's website for more information.
