By Marissa Parra
CHICAGO (WBBM) Life as we know it is slowly returning to normal.
Over the last year, we have seen restrictions for the COVID-19 pandemic close everything from businesses to churches. But this weekend, as CBS 2’s Marissa Parra reported, many of those same churches welcomed new and returning faces for the first time since last March.
Many worship services dropped their capacity limits as the city and state did on Friday.
“I have not been here since March of 2020,” said Tasha McShan. “So it’s been a while.”
The summer heat is here in full swing, and the timing couldn't be better, just days before Chicago is set to fully re-open. CBS 2’s Marissa Parra reports lot of people are hitting the beach this weekend, for the first time in a long time.
Notably, it’s one she may not like:
quit.
As you surely know, Chicago’s mayor hit the headlines this week with her decision where one-on-one interviews are concerned.
On Tuesday, Lori made it clear: No whites.
She explained via a letter to local media:
“By now, you may have heard the news that on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as Mayor of this great City, I will be exclusively providing one-on-one interviews with journalists of color.”
The mayor called to her identity as a nonwhite and to the “fight for diversity”:
“As a person of color, I have throughout my adult life done everything that I can to fight for diversity and inclusion in every institution that I have been a part of and being Mayor makes me uniquely situated to shine a spotlight on this most important issue.”
