Named after Chicago’s first permanent settler, Haitian fur trader John Baptist Pointe DuSable, this museum is the oldest in the country dedicated to preserving the history and achievements of African-Americans. Three levels of galleries can be rented for events (the smallest holds 50, while the largest holds 650), and a 100-seat auditorium is also available. A 445-seat theater hosts lectures, film screenings, and performance art.
