You are invited, along with select other Chicago civic and thought leaders, to a symposium on the modern roots of the devastating racial wealth gap of our time.

Major call for help and safety for our youth. In the past week, 3 students in 3 community based high schools have been shot and killed. They had been out of school and were doing exactly what they should by re-enrolling back in school and working towards earning their high school diploma.
