Chicago is a quintessential American city shaped by immigration and known for its multicultural character. It is home to blues, jazz and distinctive neighborhood cultures, but it has also long grappled with social issues such as racial segregation, unequal investment and gun violence.

In this episode of Across America, CGTN stringer James Hawthorn explores different neighborhoods across Chicago, from historic Black communities to vibrant arts districts shaped by Mexican culture. Through conversations with residents, community workers and artists, he examines how historical legacies continue to affect people's lives today and how people are working to build a better future for the city through community support, youth education and cultural preservation.
