Chicago is continuing to have execution style murders, as a result of rival gang violence. People, that is the equivalent of war. Two opposing sides entering a conflict by physical force.

A few Chicago Pioneers are:

Daniel Hale Williams, who founded Chicago's Provident Hospital and performed the first successful open heart surgery there in the 1890s. The heart patient lived on for another 10 years.

• Carter G. Woodson, who established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in Chicago in 1915. His Negro History Week later became to Black History Month.

• Sam Young, who introduced "policy" gambling to Chicago around the turn of the century. Depending on your point of view, you can think of it as a predecessor to the state lottery, or the beginning of the black mafia, the film notes.

• Willa Brown, who helped spark the craze for African-American pilots. Not only was she the first-ever black female commercial pilot, but she was savvy enough to show others how to market themselves.

• Thomas A. Dorsey, who was said to have invented the black gospel style of piano music, and championed the career of Mahalia Jackson
