Description

Back when the South Shore Cultural Center was a country club in the early 1900’s, it excluded Black and Jewish patrons. Since the Chicago Park District took over, the space has become a destination for weddings, private events, and classes. And now, it boasts a Black-owned restaurant that is open to the general public.

Reset learns more about the vision and what the restaurant offers from Nafsi restaurant owner Donnell Digby.
