Ada S. Mckinley (Chicago, Ill.) Newly released scholarly research about Chicago social reformer Ada S. McKinley indicates her contributions to Chicago and to the field of human services have been ignored and marginalized due to her race. The report has spurred the 102-year old nonprofit she founded to call for the rewriting of history books to inform the public of one of the nation’s most profoundly successful, yet unheralded human services pioneers.
As we celebrate Black History Month, Ada S. McKinley Community Services CEO Jamal Malone says now is the time for historians, government leaders and the public to help correct what the researchers describe as “white privileged history,” and tell the story of the heroine of Chicago’s South Side.

Spoilers below for the Season 9 premiere of Last Man Standing, so be warned if you haven t yet watched!

Last Man Standing is now in its final season (barring another network stepping in to renew it), and the creative team s efforts have been slightly hindered by COVID-related safety protocols.
