"Pianist Tony Jackson and author Lorraine Hansberry are part of Chicago’s Black history.

They’re also part of Chicago’s LGBTQ history, which fewer people may know.

Tristan Cabello wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t. He began documenting that legacy 10 years ago.

“What really struck me at the time is how we whitewash gay history,” said Cabello, a professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore who earned his Ph.D. in American history from Northwestern.

“Most of the books and most of the research that I was reading, we didn’t hear from people of color, and as a gay man myself and somebody who is a person of color, I never heard those stories, so I started doing much more research.”

He focused on Bronzeville. Like other parts of Chicago, Bronzeville in the 1920s saw an influx of Black families from the South during the Great Migration.

Cabello’s research, displayed in his digital exhibit “Queer Bronzeville,” deconstructed two myths about the Black LGBTQ community: invisibility and unacceptability.

“That culture was very visible on the streets of the South Side, in Bronzeville,” Cabello said. “You could see drag queens, as they were called in that time, just walking down the streets and being friends with people.”

The event is held to highlight issues of inclusion and racism within the LGBTQ community. Drag events in Chicago have a long history that can be traced back to early in the last century.

"...From the 1920s through the 1950s, Cabello said, drag performers would celebrate Halloween and New Year’s Eve with “Drag Balls.”

Valda Gray, a drag performer in the 1930s, was among the first to produce Drag Balls at Joe’s Deluxe, 5524 S. State St., a popular Bronzeville bar at the time. Another was Alfred Finnie, who would host balls in rented basements, charging 50 cents admission.

But Cabello said he also wanted to deconstruct the idea that “African Americans on the South Side were much more homophobic” than whites on the North Side.

“In the early 50s, there were already celebrations of gay marriages and Jet Magazine was reporting on them,” Cabello said. “It gives you an idea of how integrated and accepted that was. ...”

Blues pianist Tony Jackson and Friend (lover?), probably Glover Compton - (The Historic New Orleans Collection, Williams Research Center)

"Tony Jackson was one of the many (LGBTQ) migrants who decided to leave their native South to take advantage of Chicago's freedom. Born in New Orleans in 1884, Jackson spent his youth in saloons, gambling halls, and brothels in the Black neighborhood of Storyville.

Despite his great popularity as a musician, Jackson often complained about the tough homosexual life in New Orleans. In search of a place of residence more receptive to his music and sexual orientation, the musician migrated to Chicago in 1912. But before reaching Chicago, Jackson stopped in Louisville, KY where he met one of the leading pianists of the town, Glover Compton, with whom he had a long-term friendship.

Blues singer Jelly Roll Morton, a friend of the pianist, claimed that Jackson had migrated to Chicago because "he happened to be one of those gentlemen that a lot of people call […] lady or sissy." According to Morton, Jackson "liked his freedom in Chicago," a freedom that included the ability to work full time in Bronzeville's most renowned cabarets, theaters, and cafés, as well as the possibility of encounters with men of similar sexual orientations. Jackson was one of the best and most popular musicians in the Southside, often performing at Elite No. 1, Elite No. 2, and the Pekin Cafe."
