@eveewing My personal favorite Black Chicago pic is self indulgent. Me and the ladies who shaped me;) In our backyard at 72nd & University in 1968, my aunt, both grandmothers, mom and me. Photo credit Dad;)

As @RobinLynneKelly loves to say, CHECK THE RECORD!

The US Women’s Olympic hockey team:

if a Black man with Tourette's yelled a homophobic slur as two white gay men won awards, he wouldn't be given this same grace. In fact, they probably would've told him he couldn't come to the ceremony off rip. just an observation

Standing at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition in the days following Rev. Jesse Jackson’s passing was deeply humbling. I closed the Promote the Vote Alliance U.S. Senate Forum with a clear message: I’m running for the U.S. Senate unbought and unbossed, and the people of Illinois don’t

Robin Kelly was the first elected Black leader of the Illinois Democratic Party but they left her out.. why?

Every candidate on stage tonight had the opportunity to condemn genocide in Gaza. I’m the only one who did.

Randy Fine’s hateful attacks on the Muslim community are dangerous and un-American. Words from a member of Congress don’t stay words, they legitimize bigotry, fuel harassment and put real families in fear. He is worsening the divisions tearing at this country. This conduct is

My story: Juliana Stratton’s $25 minimum wage plan draws fire from rivals in US Senate race in Illinois

I brought the issue of Black maternal health and morbidity to Congress nearly 10 years ago after a constituent shared a personal childbirth story with me. I’m proud to have introduced the first comprehensive maternal healthcare bill in Congress and I was able to pass into law an

I stand up, show up and speak up no matter who the bully is. I am the only one in this race who has stood up to the NRA, the health insurance companies and the political machine and WON. I will take that winning streak to the U.S. Senate.
