The village of Glencoe has a proud history of early African
American settlement. In recent years, however, this once thriving
African American community has begun to disperse. Robert Sideman, a
thirty-year Glencoe resident, relates this North Shore suburb's
African American history through fond remembrances of Glencoe
communities such as the St. Paul AME Church, as well as recounting
the lives of prominent African Americans. At the same time, Sideman
poses a difficult question: how can the village maintain its
diverse heritage throughout changing times? "African Americans in
Glencoe" reveals an uplifting history while challenging residents
to embrace a past in danger of being lost.
