Description
One tangible thing the city could do for Black Chicagoans during Black History Month? Make progress on reparations. Mayor Brandon Johnson set aside money in this year’s budget for a new reparations subcommittee, but it hasn’t yet met. Meanwhile, nearby Evanston’s reparations program has been running the past couple years. First Repair director and former Evanston Ald. Robin Rue Simmons will be in the Austin neighborhood this weekend talking about reparations, so we’re revisiting our conversation with her from this summer to see what Chicago can learn.
