North Lawndale, Administrative district on the West Side of Chicago, United States
North Lawndale features numerous greystones and residential buildings spread across its streets, connecting to neighboring communities through an organized grid system.
The district transformed from a Polish immigrant settlement in the early 1900s to an African American community during the Great Migration of the mid-twentieth century.
Local artists contribute to the neighborhood identity through public murals that detail historical events and community stories throughout North Lawndale streets.
The area connects to downtown Chicago through multiple transportation options, including the Green Line, Blue Line, and several bus routes.
Martin Luther King Jr selected an apartment in North Lawndale during 1968 to demonstrate housing inequalities, which influenced the creation of the Fair Housing Act.
