History in the Making

During our annual recognition of Black History Month, Breakthrough celebrates the personal contributions of our staff and the impact of our programs with a series of stories called History in the Making. As we consider the legacy of our work in Garfield Park and across Chicago, Breakthrough is history in the making.
