Do Good and Repair:

With God all things are possible, including the repair of that relationship that seems impossible. Seek God for how you may do good, give grace, and reconcile rather than retreat. God is able. #SARTruthTuesday #RelationshipsMatter

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Spencer Leak Jr., a respected leader, devoted public servant, and pillar of Chicago’s Black community. As Vice President of  Leak & Sons Funeral Homes, Spencer carried forward a family legacy that has served Chicago families with compassion, dignity, and grace for generations. Through his work, he helped countless families navigate some of life’s most difficult moments while ensuring their loved ones were honored with care and respect.  

Spencer’s impact extended far beyond the funeral profession. He was a steward of community, a champion of service, and a proud representative of a family whose name has become synonymous with faith, generosity, and commitment to Chicago’s neighborhoods. The Leak family has long stood at the intersection of service and social justice, and Spencer continued that tradition through his leadership, philanthropy, and unwavering dedication to the people of this city.  

On behalf of the City of Chicago, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Leak family, the entire Leak & Sons Funeral Homes family, their many friends and colleagues, and all those whose lives were touched by Spencer’s kindness and service. May we honor his memory by continuing to uplift one another with the same compassion, dignity, and commitment to community that defined his life. His legacy will endure in the countless families he served and in the city he loved.

105 years ago today, a mob of White people began a vile, murderous attack on the Greenwood District, a flourishing Black community in Tulsa and the home of Black Wall Street.

Imagine if the Greenwood District, and many other thriving Black communities, had not been intentionally destroyed at the hands of racism and white supremacy.
