Family Focus Evanston honored residents and organizations during its annual benefit event Thursday.
The event, themed “Evanston’s Black Heroes,” featured students from Family Focus’s after-school program who performed biographies of prominent Black Evanston residents from both the past and present.
Family Focus President and CEO Dara Munson said she is proud of the role that the organization plays in supporting Evanston’s Black community. Its Evanston center has operated out of 2010 Dewey Ave. for over 40 years, serving as a central point of resources and programming for the 5th Ward. Family Focus has since expanded, adding six other centers across the Chicago area.

The prince had been hospitalised with heart problems the previous Christmas and watched young people narrow boating, rock climbing, and pancake making at Laburnum Boat Club along the Regents Canal in Haggerston, even getting involved himself.
“The prince was very good considering his age and his recent ill health,” said director Jim Armstrong at the time.
