Chicago Urban League Youth Headed to March For Our Lives Rally in DC
As many as 500,000 teens and adults are slated to take to Washington D.C. streets for Saturday's March for Our Lives event, and youth from the Chicago Urban League will be among the participants. The rally is part of a nationwide series of anti-gun violence protests stemming from last month's high school shooting in Florida.

The March For Our Lives follows a national school walkout , which was held on March 14. The protest saw thousands of students across the country walk out of their schools in protest of gun violence.

Historians said the demonstrations were shaping up to be one of the largest youth protests in decades.

Invitation to Participate in a Focus Group about
the Black Press in the 21st Century

You are invited to take part in a focus group (small discussion group) about the black press in the 21 st century. The session will take place Thursday, April 26, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. at Northwestern University’s Chicago campus (710 N. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60611) and should last no longer than two hours.
 
The focus group will provide an opportunity to learn about consumers’ views of the current black press. In particular, research is being done on how readers determine the news outlets they consume and if they believe Black press outlets are serving their needs and meeting their expectations. More background information will be sent to those confirming attendance before the focus group.
 
Eligible participants are African-American adults (between 38 and 57) who consume at least two Black press outlets (online or print) on a monthly basis. Participants’ views will be used to help inform academic publications that are written on the topic.
 
Light refreshments will be provided during the session and to compensate participants for their time, all attendees will receive $50.
 
To take part in the focus group, email miyawilliams@u.northwestern.edu before April 12.
