Is soul food disappearing from Chicago?

The tactile graphics workshop is underway and students are working their first assignment this week: an illustration for a recipe from one of two historical cookbooks:
What Mrs. Fisher Knows about Old Southern Cooking by Abby Fisher:

and
Good things to Eat by Rufus Estes:
http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/books/book_62.cfm

One of the students, Alicia, alerted G&G to an intriguing article about soul food in Chicago:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/soul-food-disappearing-in-chicago-as-black-population-declines-tastes-change/2011/09/06/gIQA8PxX7J_story.html
The author claims that times are changing and soul food options are not as abundant as they once were. What do you think? Is soul food disappearing from Chicago?
