How they open
Two weeks after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, members of Chicago’s Iranian diaspora say they are experiencing a mix of hope, fear and uncertainty about what comes next, especially as the violence spreads throughout the region.
Thousands of mourners filled the House of Hope on Chicago’s Far South Side on Friday, March 6, for a jubilant public service honoring the life and legacy of the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.
Students gathered in the Makerspace at 754 S. Wabash Ave. this week to create protest signs ahead of a citywide walkout Friday, Feb. 13 opposing federal immigration enforcement in sanctuary cities.
