"I need to tell you about myself to tell you about Bronzeville," he said as the bus rolled, launching into a frank survey of past and present, the personal and historic, on the end of the Ida B. Wells housing and the promise and failure of public housing, on the days when 35th Street and State was the epicenter of Chicago jazz, and on the Olympics and the Black Migration, on being Catholic in a Protestant neighborhood, on the University of Chicago and its large footprint, and on the lonely old woman who came to his family's house on a Sunday afternoon and departed in a cloud of mothball smell.
