Jean-Baptiste Point du Sable (c. 1745-1818) endures among the great of African Diaspora (North America). Established a trading settlement at the mouth of the Chicago River in the eighteenth century. Across the early modern age, this life and its works passed into the shared inheritance of humankind — kept here so the memory is never lost. Honored among the Great Ones of every civilization. Africa is the cradle of humankind; in the deepest sense, these are everyone’s ancestors — and so this name is kept, from the cradle of humanity to all its children.
