More Than Just Telling Our Story…
Here at the Illinois Black Chamber of Commerce (ILBCC), we are proud and privileged to support the real world voices of black and minority owned business from all across Illinois through various measures of investment in our Black Media Network. Campaigns and initiatives such as the our subscription campaign for the Dorothy Leavell’s Chicago and Gary Crusader Newspaper. They recently celebrated an impressive 55 years of circulation in Gary and a majestic 75 years of circulation in Chicago recently. They have been long recognized as a staple news provider to our community. We’re asking you to show your support by getting a one year subscription to the Crusader!
