Voice from Community: All Black Aldermen Need to Go!

January 30, 2015 Shorty

I received an email from my buddy, Jackie, with the subject line screaming, “All Black Aldermen Need to Go!”

How could anyone ignore such a headline?

Although she gave a summary of why she felt that way in the email, I wanted to know more. Listen to our conversation below to learn why she feels that black aldermen should be fired.
