Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable not honored properly in Chicago

We, the people, would like to see a prominently placed statue as well as a street name which honors the first permanent settler of Chicago: Jean Baptiste Point du Sable.

Why is this important?

The man credited to have been the first settler of the Chicago region has NO STREET named after him nor any noticeable statue.

This is a discredit to both du Sable himself and Chicago's Black population, and is a general disservice to its populace in entirety.
