O'Block, a neighborhood within Chicago's South Side, holds a complex tapestry of narratives, blending a mix of community resilience, cultural richness, and challenges. Recognized for its significance in hip-hop culture, O'Block gained widespread attention through the music of artists like Chief Keef. However, beyond its musical associations, it's a neighborhood deeply affected by safety issues and socioeconomic disparities, facing struggles and striving for positive change amidst its vibrant community spirit. The area's history, marked by both hardship and cultural dynamism, contributes to its multifaceted identity within the broader context of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods.

When you cruise through some of the biggest cities in the country, there are many structures that populate the skyline, such as skyscrapers, bridges, water towers, or monuments. However, if you were to venture out to the industrial districts, you would see tall yet slender structures spitting smoke into the sky. You might notice these massive industrial cylinders are very similar to the often brick or clay structures connected to a fireplace or stove in your own home, especially if your house is of an older make. But what exactly are these and what purpose do they serve? Smoke stacks and chimneys as they are called, are architectural ventilation designs built to expel gas and smoke high in the air and away from people. Smoke stacks and chimneys have played a vital part in human architecture dating nearly a thousand years but they especially came to prominence on a manufacturing scale during the Industrial Revolution, resulting in several iterations in cities like New York and Chicago Join this channel for exclusive videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzIZ8HrzDgc-pNQDUG6avBA/join Chapters: IT’S HISTORY - Weekly Tales of American Urban Decay as presented by your host Ryan Socash. » CONTACT For brands, agencies, and sponsorships: itshistory@thoughtleaders.io https://www.facebook.com/itshistoryONAIR/ https://www.instagram.com/ryansocash/ » CREDIT Scriptwriter - Brandon Evens Editor - Karolina Szwata Host - Ryan Socash » NOTICE Some images may be used for illustrative purposes only - always reflecting the accurate time frame and content.

Here are the videos from my friends at Planet Wild, in which they’re reviving a river after an eco disaster: https://planetwild.com/itshistory/5 or protecting the European Bison from extinction: https://planetwild.com/itshistory/1 The Crazy Horse Monument is a monumental sculpture located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, USA. It is an ongoing work-in-progress that aims to depict the famous Oglala Lakota leader, Crazy Horse, riding a horse and pointing into the distance. The sculpture is being carved into Thunderhead Mountain and is designed to be the largest mountain carving in the world once completed. The idea for the Crazy Horse Monument was conceived in the 1930s by Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear, who wanted to honor Crazy Horse and the Native American culture. The project began in 1948 under the direction of sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, and since his passing in 1982, his family has continued the work. Unlike Mount Rushmore, which features the faces of four U.S. Presidents, the Crazy Horse Monument focuses on a Native American historical figure. The sculpture is intended to serve as a symbol of the indomitable spirit, bravery, and pride of the Native American people. The project remains a significant undertaking and is funded entirely through private donations and visitor fees. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, the monument is still a work in progress, and the completion date is uncertain. However, it continues to attract visitors from around the world who come to witness the awe-inspiring creation and learn about the rich history and culture of the Lakota Sioux people.
