The American Library Association's Office for Diversity, Literacy, and Outreach Services would like to honor the individuals who make Chicago such a beautifully diverse, vibrant, and dynamic city through its restaurants, museums, cultural centers, and businesses. This list a sampling of businesses and does not encapsulate all the diverse businesses in Chicago.

For comprehensive information on Chicago's diverse neighborhoods or for a neighborhood-specific tour, check out the Chicago Cultural Alliance's page.

If there is a business or organization you think we should add to our list, send your suggestions to syanity@ala.org.
