Chicago's debt to Haiti

I was walking along Michigan Avenue last night and passed by a new statue of the founder of Chicago, Jean-Baptiste DuSable, a Haitian. He built a trading post at the confluence of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River.

In its hour of need, Chicago should make a visible contribution in recognition of our connection.
