An Evening in Bronzeville Join the NSC Culture Club express! Between 1910 and 1920, a tremendous number of African American workers journeyed to Bronzeville to escape oppression in the southern United States. As one of the most significant landmarks of the "Great Migration," this South Side neighborhood is shrouded in a glowing, African American cultural allure. We will take a riding tour of Bronzeville’s most famous spots and make a surprise visit to one of their most notable places today. (It’s a surprise!) Afterwards, we will go to Yassa Restaurant, one of Chicago’s only dining destinations featuring Senegalese cuisine. We will have the opportunity to sample their homemade juices and have a wonderful dinner, dining to the tunes of the Junta Ensemble. The Junta Ensemble has been together for over 15 years, but has been performing individually in the Chicago area for years in various genres of music, Blues, Classical, Gospel, Jazz, R&B and Rock. What you will encounter is a meeting of individual tastes that form an agreeable and pleasing blend as they put their collective spin on music.
