		Point du Sable Jean-Baptiste Point du Sable (1745-1813) was the first non-native settler in the area which is now Chicago, Illinois.
		He was long ignored by historians, partly because he was a Haitian and not white, and partly because the early histories were written by the friends and descendants of John Kinzie, to whom du Sable sold his house in 1800.

	The start-up connection: Du Sable High School
		In 1994, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, an astrophysicist at the University, and Bennett Brown, a physics teacher at Jean Baptiste Point Du Sable High School in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood, formed a partnership to use supplemental grant money from NASA to improve secondary education in science (Chronicle, March 9, 1995).
		The two approached York with the idea of giving Du Sable a node on the University's network, but York suggested applying for enough grant money from NASA to get Du Sable its own direct connection.
		The $20,000 NASA provided was enough to bring a high-speed Internet line to the school, and the trio parlayed that into a $200,000 grant from the Illinois State Board of Education, which provided funds for paid staff, teacher training, additional computers and an internal network.
