Chatham, Chicago wiki entry edited

Often in the past I could check this entry a day, a week, a month, two months, four months or more and would probably note that there wasn't a change made at all. There isn't much on this page often although for other city neighborhoods regardless of race, income or even their publicity (the fact that they're well-known) may have more information regarding that particular neighborhood or community area.

This morning I checked out Chatham wiki entry. I actually decided to use Google to seek out more information and of course Wikipedia came up and I see the following...
Chatham, located on the south side, is one of the 77 official community areas of South Side of the city of Chicago, Illinois. It includes the neighborhoods of Chatham and West Chesterfield. Its residents are overwhelmingly middle and upper income African American and it is home to Senator Roland Burris.
Interesting, very interesting. Someone cared to bring up this fact although it's certainly great to know that we have a US Senator living in our ward or for those who actually live in Chatham it's great to have a US Senator as a neighbor.

Typically however this entry doesn't have much information on history. Currently there is just information on demographics and transporation in the general area. Surely someone out there has the ability to provide more information than is provided on that entry.

If you want more information there is always the Encyclopedia of Chicago. You can find that in the sidebar under Chicagoland links.
