Lincoln-Way North High School, or LWN, was a public four-year high school located approximately one mile south of Interstate 80 at the intersection of Illinois Route 43 (Harlem Avenue), Vollmer Road, Saint Francis Road and Cox Avenue in Frankfort Square, Illinois, a southwest suburb of Chicago, in the United States. LWN was part of Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210, which also includes Lincoln-Way East High School, Lincoln-Way Central High School, and Lincoln-Way West High School. Lincoln-Way North drew students from Tinley Park, Frankfort, Mokena, and Frankfort Square. Summit Hill School District 161 was the only feeder district for Lincoln-Way North High School. The school closed in June 2016 due to a school board vote. Lincoln Way North was temporarily reopened in November 2023 after a ceiling collapse at Lockport Township High School Central Campus to house the displaced freshmen students.

Illinois's 1st congressional district
Illinois's 1st congressional district

Illinois's first congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Illinois. Based in Cook County, the district includes much of the South Side of Chicago, and continues southwest to Joliet. From 2003 to early 2013 it extended into the city's southwest suburbs until reaching the border of Will County, and covered 97.84 square miles (253.4 km2), making it one of the 40 smallest districts in the U.S. (although there are four smaller districts in Illinois). The district had a population that was 65% African American, the highest percentage of any congressional district in the nation, but with redistricting that percentage has now declined to 52%. It includes the home of former President Barack Obama. The 1st is a majority-minority district, and has been since at least the 1920s. In 1929, it became the first district in the 20th century to send an African American to Congress when Republican Oscar Stanton De Priest was elected to represent the district. The 1st has been represented by an African American Member of Congress ever since, the longest ongoing stretch of black representation for any seat in the House of Representatives. It has been held by a Democrat since 1935 when Arthur Mitchell, the first African American Democrat elected to Congress, took the seat as part of the New Deal Coalition. In 1949, district representative William Dawson became the first African American to chair a congressional committee. Since redistricting by the state legislature after the 2010 census, it is 51.3% black, 40.6% white, and 9.8% Hispanic in population. The district is currently represented by Jonathan Jackson who was elected to succeed longtime incumbent Bobby Rush in 2022.
