Illinois Legislative Black Caucus Foundation Host “State of the Black Community Legislative Update”
CHICAGO, IL – The 100th General Assembly began just days ago, and the mounting tension at the state Capital has led to a substantial amount of uncertainty for programs that service the Black Community. The depletion of programs and services have led to an all-time high in violence in Chicago. The community deserves answers, which is why the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus Foundation (ILBCF) is hosting a State of the Black Community town hall meeting. At the event, legislators will give a brief legislative review, and then open the floor for a community discussion.
WVON radio host Cliff Kelly is moderating the discussion.
