Come back on May 18 to see our video and hear our story on the neighborhood of North Milwaukee.
North Milwaukee is a city that joined a city. For more than thirty years, from 1897 to 1929, it was an independent suburb, operating its own schools, publishing its own newspapers, and developing its own personality...It provides a unique setting for the community's current residents, most of them African Americans, who are writing their own chapter in the long history of one of Milwaukee's most interesting neighborhoods.
