This is a question I asked while working in the Midwest Latino Health Research, Training, and Policy Center during UIC SROP 1999.
The best way to understand the barriers to health in blacks in Chicago and other metropolitan areas in the US is to consider systems influences on health. More specifically, there is evidence of historic injustices leading to unfavorable distribution for blacks (as opposed to whites) of income, wealth, education, housing, access to healthy foods, referred to as healthy inequity and social determinants of health (SDoH). Improved equity and equality in access to positive aspects of the SDoH plus health care and public health services can help address those barriers.

So, barriers to health among blacks in Chicago happened over time through social, political, and economic processes in the community?
Do you think community members that are stakeholders aware of these historic injustices?
