Sunday in Black Chicago

CTL Reference Sheet · Version 1.0 · Published 2026-09-30

Sunday in Black Chicago (CTL-RB-LIFE-000002) asks how churches, meals, clothing, music, and family routines intersected. The v0.1 brief runs 3,251 words with 27 graded claims and 17 entities. Its largest stated uncertainty: no Chicago-specific evidence on Sunday-dress affordability or a verified full-day program sequence; the integrated-ecosystem model depends on a single congregation (Morning Star).
