just curious why the only two black people chosen were athletes entertainers (one actress another a football player). There are plenty of black doctors, engineers, scientists etc in Chicago

it makes me a little sad that there are no black singles... I agree with JJ. Come on people it's Chicago. You don't have to that out of your way to find an accomplished black person. This is a little embarrassing for me as a Young Black Female. Do I not have a shot at this??
