CHICAGO (WLS) The City of Chicago has a new initiative promoting racial equity and healing called Together We Heal.
The city s Office of Equity and Racial Justice hosted a virtual summit Friday in support of the effort.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Governor JB Pritzker had a candid conversation about their leadership and navigating the reckoning on race. You and I are similar in this way we want to solve problems. We want to help and that s our reflex. We want to jump in but sometimes it s better to just listen, Lightfoot said.
The governor also spoke on the importance of listening to those around him following the killing of George Floyd.
