Mayor Lori Lightfoot states “Racism and racist symbols have no place in Chicago.”
Meanwhile, just recently reelected Governor J.B. Pritzker condemned the event, stating he’ll ensure Illinois “will make all needed resources available to help catch the perpetrators.”
The Obama Foundation called the event “shameless” and an “act of cowardice and hate … designed to get attention and divide us.”
The Obama President Center is expected to open in 3 years … and strategies consist of a library, activity center, plaza, online forum and a museum.
Lakeside Alliance, which is consisted of 4 minority-owned companies, is providing a $100,000 benefit for aid finding those accountable for what the group is calling a “shameful act.”
