An officer and a gentleman, John Raimondo.....thank you for your service. You will be missed.

The historic record is clear, most statues of Confederate leaders were erected not just to honor these men, but as part of the movement which became known as The Cult of the Lost Cause.

The South lost the war and a group of people got together and decided that they were going to adorn the country with monuments that revered those who fought on behalf of a cause that was lost, which they wanted to make seem noble. It was a propaganda campaign of epic proportions.

In honor of Pride Month, Drive By Pride in Kankakee was a success! Pride Month was established in the month of June to commemorate the Stonewall riots which occurred in 1969. Today, many pride events take place across the globe to celebrate love.

Thank you to Mayor Mike Bloomberg for establishing the COVID-19 Cities Leadership Initiative which provides resources to Mayors across the country. During our videoconference today, President Bill Clinton stopped by to provide encouragement.

During the weekend, I ordered groceries and my husband picked them up today. Even though I still have to check on my community, I am making conscious decisions to create social distance......no shopping in grocery stores for me.

[Chasity Wells-Armstr @ArmstrWells]

Let’s be mindful of our personal habits and behaviors so that even if we are healthy, we are not transmitting the virus to someone else. And when shopping, let’s be mindful that there are other families that need the same supplies as yours.
