Honoring Howlin' Wolf

Help us create the Honorary Howlin' Wolf Way!

We are working with Howlin’ Wolf’s former Chicago neighborhood to create an honorary street sign for the section of 88th street where he lived. Please contact 8th Ward Alderman Michelle Harris and request an Honorary Sign for Howlin’ Wolf on 88th Street - We hope you agree that the City of Chicago should celebrate the legacy of Howlin' Wolf!

You can email her at: michelle.harris@cityofchicago.org or send a letter to her office: 8539 South Cottage Grove Avenue Chicago, IL 60619
