African Americans from Chicago descended from those who were part of
the Great Migration have continued to move to the north side of

of Russians and other Eastern Europeans who began migrating in the
1990's after the end of the Cold War. Many Hispanics of mostly Puerto
Rican and Mexican heritage live on the south side of Milwaukee. Milwaukee Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
