Blacks began to settle in McLean County
as early as the 1840s and have been proud members of the community ever
since. Their achievements are evident in their business
endeavors, the success of their community organizations, and their
record of military service. They have fought to shape their own
history by participating in the struggles of citizenship and civil
rights. And, they have revealed their heart and soul through
their celebrations and artistic expressions.
