The City Of Chicago declares this day to be Frankie Knuckles Day, in honour of pioneering house music DJ Frankie Knuckles. On the same day, a stretch of street on Jefferson Street between Jackson Boulevard and Madison Street is re-named Frankie Knuckles Way, because Knuckles' first club, The Warehouse, had been located on that spot. Illinois state senator Barack Obama was instrumental in making these two honours happen.
