Our History

The love of art and history was the motivational engine behind opening Tangible Things Store. Bronzeville was the perfect place to carry on our legacy and develop our store concept. It is perfect because we have witnesed the changing platforms in our community over time and would like to contribute to the current positive movement unfolding in BronzeVille. We are celebrating our third year here. There have been more positive aspects to the area than challenges. 
Bronzeville, the Black Metropolis, is a mecca of African-American History on Chicago's South Side, just miles south of downtown. Gwendolyn Brooks published poetry at The Chicago Defender, Andrew Rube Foster created Negro League Baseball, and Louis Armstrong kept his trumpet singing at the Sunset Cafe to keep Al Capone off his back. Long in disrepair, the neighborhood is coming back, with new residents refurbishing historic homes, and with new dining and nightlife scenes beginning to take root.
Bronzeville was the site of Chicago's version of the Harlem Renaissance, and was home to many famous African-Americans, including Gwendolyn Brooks, Richard Wright, Louis Armstrong, Bessie Coleman, Ida B Wells, Andrew Foster, and many more. 
This is just a  taste of Bronzeville's Past!
