Local and Regional History
Enjoy a pictorial and
historical rare look "back in the day" .. when African American men and women owned a Chamber of Commerce, numerous
businesses, a bank, a hospital and organized community and housing improvement initiatives .. when neighborhoods flourished
.. when a Black housing developer built an entire middle-class housing community which exists to this day in Gary,
Indiana! .. when, "back in the day", before integration and the modern civil rights era .. when African Americans
were "on their own". And even though this story took place in Gary, Indiana, others like it occurred again and
again in several communities throughout America. Dharathula (Dolly) Millender, Gary's historian and author of several
books, painstakingly compiled pictures and history to tell this almost unbelievable, yet purely "American story".
