A 2018 visit to Chicago included a morning spent locating McKinley High School, which now functions as the Malcolm X City College: "Malcolm X College, one of the City Colleges of Chicago, is a two-year college located on the Near West Side of Chicago, Illinois. It was founded as Crane Junior College in 1911." - Russ Mason
