People of African descent living in America cannot build wealth if we couldn't buy property, if we were victims of arson and violence if we did. 39 Lashes, no vote, no legal system to protect.

As a Black man, and as the leader of a major U.S. city, I have a responsibility to set the tone on how we rectify decades of neglect.

Today's Executive Order on the Black Reparations Agenda is a pledge to confront Chicago's legacy of inequity.

Black students remain the primary victims of reported hate attacks in U.S. schools. It is harmful *not* to teach Black students why they are facing these attacks. Because if a Black victim of a hate attack doesn’t understand anti-Black racism, then that student can blame themselves for the attack. (They hate me because there is something wrong with me, with Black people). It is harmful for non-Black students to come to the same conclusion. (They hate Black people because there is something wrong with them).
Lauren G Lowery

It is harmful *not* to teach Jewish and q***r students why they are facing hate attacks. It is harmful not to teach students of all backgrounds why people hate Black, Jewish, and q***r people. It protects students to learn about anti-Black racism, antisemitism, homophobia, and transphobia. Those censoring these subjects in classrooms, those banning books on these subjects, may have contributed to this doubling of hate attacks in U.S.
