May 10th is Jean-Baptiste Pointe du Sable Day!!!
Mr Pointe du Sable is celebrated on this day because this is the earliest record of him living in Chicago. "Jean-Baptiste Pointe Du Sable was an intrepid pioneer and settler in the areas now known as Peoria and Chicago, Illinois. His foresight in perceiving the importance of the site of Chicago, now one of the largest cities in the United States, was matched by his uncommon affinity with the local Native American tribes. Together, these factors led this visionary entrepreneur to establish the most important center of commerce, trade, and industry in the central United States." Thank you Mr. Pointe du Sable for all of your contributions and inspiration! Please click the link below and learn more about Jean-Baptiste Pointe du Sable.
