    For 60 years Chatham has been the African

    American Rock Star, 6 generations later it

    still is. Chatham is a brand, a state of mind,

    a middle class dividend. Chatham has the

    distinction of being perhaps the only neighbor

    hood that developed from a European Middle

    Class Community to a Middle Class African

    American Community.

  

    In 1950, the African American residency of

   Chatham was 1%, by 1960 it had increased to 63.7% .

   Caucasians left Chatham in large numbers in the

   1950’s and 1960’s in record numbers partly because

   of the scare tactics used by some real estate agents.

             

  Chatham is in transition, yet it is still a vibrant

 Middle Class community that has grown generations

 of educators, public & civic servants, entrepreneurs,

  president, ceo’s & coo’s of companies, insurance        producers, engineers, doctors, plumbers, postal workers,

police officers, it professionals, attorneys, fire personnel .

Chatham Icon’s include: US Senator Roland Burris,

Mayor Eugene Sawyer, Mahalia Jackson,  Chicago

Police Chief Terry Hillard, ret., Justice John O Steele, ret.,

Justice William Cousins, ret., Dempsey Travis, Author & Real Estate Guru, Chatham Park Place, Milton Moses, President, Community Insurance,  Ernie Banks, Baseball Legend, Frank Gardner, President Chicago Board of Education, Washington Burney, CAPCC President Emeritus , Arthur M Turnbull , former CAPCC Treasurer, Dr. Bobbie Anthony Perez,  PhD  Adele Pryor, Dr. Andrew Perez, a Tuskegee Airman , Mr. Edward Gardner, President Soft Sheen Products, Mr. Alvin Boutee , President Independence Bank and many others.

 

 

 

 

Chatham has grown intergenerational leaders: The

former  CAPCC   President Keith O Tate who served as President for 20 years & as a officer for 36 years  and former CAPCC  Executive Vice President Maryellen Drake who served as Exec. Vice for 18 years and as an officer for 28 years are second generation CAPCC members.

 

Tate’s & Drake’s fathers served and volunteered in the Chatham community. Mr. ElwinTate was a CAPCC founding member and served as Vice-President on the board of directors of CAPCC. Mr. Edward Drake was the President & founder of the 78th & Champlain block club which he founded with the assistance of Vice President Elwin Tate in 1958.

Mr. Michael Gaines  CAPCC  Sub- Area 4 Vice President &  Officer with the  United Progress Association,  father State Representative Charles Gaines served as the Constitution& Legal Chairman for CAPCC for many years

is also a second generation leader.

   TRUE LEADERS DON’T  CREATE FOLLOWERS

          THEY CREATE MORE LEADERS.
