About Us

To its early credit, businesses such as Johnson Publication (Ebony), Johnson Hair Products and Soft Sheen Hair products were helped by the educational services and economic assistance provided by the Cosmopolitan Chamber. The education programs offered by The Chamber have helped many African Americans start and grow businesses in Chicago.

A Brief History

The Cosmopolitan Chamber is Chicago’s oldest African American Chamber of Commerce. Nationally, the chamber is considered the second-oldest; started as a successor to the Chicago Chapter of the National Negro Chamber of Commerce founded by Booker T. Washington.
