As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK #BelovedCommunity

One of our city’s favorite summer traditions is going virtual in 2020! Due to COVID-19 safety measures mandated by the City, Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks is moving from the greens to YOUR screens in partnership w/ @ChicagoParks, @Boeing, and @BMOHarrisBank. #shakesintheparks

At @violaproject, girls and gender nonconforming youth take on Shakespeare! They play roles traditionally held by men, delve into Shakespeare’s texts, and spend time developing their voices in a nonjudgmental space. #WomensHistoryMonth

Leadership is about listening. You can't lead if you haven't listened to the concerns and perspectives of those around you.

Since a crooked figure may
Attest in little place a million,
And let us, ciphers to this great accompt,
On your imaginary forces work.
