The number of suburban libraries canceling in-person programming because of rising COVID-19 infection rates is growing, with Wheeling s Indian Trails joining the list.
Trailblazing politicians. Dedicated community servants. Business leaders whose philanthropic work enriched their communities. And a Holocaust survivor who devoted her life to educating, to inspiring, and to combating the type of hatred and prejudice she experienced. These are among the influential and important Northwest suburban residents we said farewell to this year.
Children in foster care will soon be wearing new pajamas thanks to the many community members and partners who donated to Sen. Julie Morrison s "Sweet Dreams" pajama drive.
More than four dozen suburban libraries are joining with the Racial Awareness in the North Shore and the Together is Better Alliance in presenting the the online program, "The Color of Law & Reversing Segregation" with Richard Rothstein on Wednesday, Oct. 13. Rothstein presents on the policies that led to racial segregation in American communities, and what can be done to reverse these practices and work towards racial equity.
