Straight from the concrete where legends are made, OG Mr. Rick sits down with OG Skin Fire — a former enforcer from Brooklyn, Illinois, the oldest Black township in America. Tune in as OG Mr. Rick discuss the code of being a chosen enforcer on the mean streets of Brooklyn Illinois, a township that exist within shouting distance of East St. Louis. Brooklyn’s roots run deep: AME and Baptist churches formed in the 1830s, later tied to Underground Railroad work that helped freedom seekers move north. Built as an early interracial community, Brooklyn was boxed in by discrimination, bypassed by transport routes, and starved of investment. Oral history says “Mother” Priscilla Baltimore led Black families across the Mississippi from St. Louis to Illinois, founding a freedom village in the American Bottom. Records place Baltimore between St. Louis and Brooklyn in the 1830s, with her first documented Brooklyn connection appearing in 1839. Baltimore became a Methodist preacher, while William Paul Quinn helped found Brooklyn AME Church in 1836 — now Quinn’s Chapel AME, believed to be the first AME church west of the Appalachians. In 1837, abolitionists platted the land into a mostly Black town; by the mid-1800s, Brooklyn had grown into a community of about 200 African Americans. Quinn Chapel AME and Antioch Baptist served as Underground Railroad stations, sheltering freedom seekers before sending them toward Canada. Brooklyn incorporated in 1873. By 1886, its Black majority organized politically and elected John Evans as the village’s first Black mayor. But investment flowed around Brooklyn and into East St. Louis, leaving the village isolated from railroads, industry, and growth. In 1891, Evans named the post office Lovejoy after abolitionist Elijah P. Lovejoy; the town’s later high school carried the same name and reputation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
