Description

Earlier this week, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing a reparations task force to create a Black reparations agenda. The task force will examine Chicago policies that have historically disenfranchised Black Chicagoans and suggest measures to address these systemic inequities. The Triibe’s Tonia Hill spoke with residents about how they believe reparations should look. We are also joined by Injustice Watch’s Carlos Ballesteros whose recent investigation into Cook County jail uncovered its deadliest year in a decade. Plus, we discuss ongoing flood recovery, Chief Keef’s return to Chicagoland, and Woodlawn’s second annual Community Benefits Agreement summit.
