Obama Center Breaks Ground, City Budget Details, and Bookstore Love
2021-10-01
The Obamas were in town Tuesday to break ground on the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park. But not everyone is convinced the campus will be a beacon of hope and change for surrounding South Side communities. Host Jacoby Cochran is joined by Injustice Watch’s Charles Preston and WTTW’s Heather Cherone to discuss lingering concerns facing the Presidential Center. The trio also dive into Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s 2022 budget proposal; and, of course, they leave us with a few moments of joy, including the grand reopening of Semicolon Bookstore and improving Covid numbers.
Guests: Charles Preston — Audience Engagement Manager, Injustice Watch
Heather Cherone — Political Reporter, WTTW
