Mayor Brandon Johnson has finally named his own chief equity officer and begun moving forward with a $500,000 task force on reparations he announced last year.
ByMayor Brandon Johnson is moving forward with a Chicago reparations task force to look into a possible program, and named a chief equity officer.
Kupe is likely to play a fundamental role in determining what reparations will look like in Chicago. Kupe told the Daley Plaza crowd she has "seen firsthand the challenges the city faces" and the "power of government and community to collectively" devise solutions that create a "more just and inclusive Chicago."
The Juneteenth holiday on Wednesday commemorates the emancipation of all enslaved people in the United States. It's a "celebration of freedom" and progress and a "reminder of the ongoing struggle," Kupe said. "It's important to continue to dismantle systemic injustice even though the journey continues.
"Today's executive order is not just a public declaration. It is a pledge to shape the future of our city by confronting the legacy of inequity that has plagued Chicago for far too long," the mayor was quoted as saying.
