This is the Victory Monument, a historic fixture of the Bronzeville neighborhood. Erected in 1927, it was built as a memorial to honor the Eighth Regiment of the Illinois National Guard, an African-American unit that served in France during World War I. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1998.
