Jack and Jill of America, Chicago Chapter, will have an upcoming DuSable Museum of African American History interactive exhibit and gala celebration honoring the organization’s 75th anniversary.
Jack and Jill of America Inc. is a national organization centered on Black mothers and children from toddler to 19. Its mission is to nurture Black youth and create future leaders through leadership development, volunteerism, philanthropy and civic duty. Chicago became the 11th chapter and the first in Chicagoland, after local moms requested to join. The Chicago Chapter counts 125 mothers and more than 250 children among its ranks.

He later found out it was altered to a different name and cashed for $9,500.On a spring Saturday, the docents wrapped up their training with a run-through to show what they learned, the majority of which was done virtually. Teens got to choose which area of the museum they wanted to cover, from Margaret Burroughs to Harold Washington to Chicago’s 1919 Race Riot and the Black male and female soldiers of WWI.
“I think that it is incumbent upon local community organizations similar to Jack and Jill to support other local organizations that are inside of the community,” said Roni Jackson, Jack & Jill Chicago Chapter’s gala chair.
Danny Dunson, DuSable’s director of curatorial services, said he started with the most recent imagery of the Chicago chapter, specifically the“You saw these beautiful children of our community in these bright colors, holding signs that were childlike, but filled with gravitas statements of affirmation and activism, that was so important ... that connected these children with everyone,” he said. “With this, it was about knitting a story together.
“My youngest said to me after his first training session, ‘There is some pretty cool stuff in there, they need support,’ ” Clayton said. “I think for them to see at a young age that there are gems where they grow up, that can offer so much value and for him to already be thinking about ‘what do they need in terms of support,’ whether it’s financial or man hours because I want to make sure that it keeps going.
